2017-18 DROPS Grant-Funded Engineering Project at

La Costa Heights: Field 

Student interns at La Costa Heights studied the stormwater runoff on their campus and noticed a high level of pollutants draining directly into the storm drain on their field. Students proposed a structural Best Management Practice to use a bioswale to filter runoff before it leave the campus. With the help of the DROPS grant, the school district approved construction of this BMP which beings in April 2018.
