With more high-intensity storms and above average precipitation amounts predicted for the region in the coming decades, storm water management will become a more significant issue in developing communities like Ramsey. Storm water management can be a particular challenge in neighborhoods that are already established and where there is little room to develop retention ponds or reroute storm water infrastructure. This project focused on Identifying appropriate best management practices (BMPs) to accommodate storm water runoff in an established neighborhood in Ramsey. Students in Dr. John Gulliver’s Urban Hydrology and Water Quality class sampled water in the neighborhood's Emerald Pond, investigated best practices for treating organic matter-rich storm water runoff, and made recommendations for Emerald Pond. The students’ final report and presentation are available.enLocal GovernmentSustainabilityRamseyStorm Water ManagementCity of Ramsey Projects, 2017-2018Presentation
