Chapter 5 of the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual focuses on green infrastructure practices aimed at reducing stormwater runoff. It emphasizes the importance of preserving natural features, minimizing impervious surfaces, and implementing various techniques such as vegetated swales, rain gardens, green roofs, and stormwater planters. Each technique is designed to enhance water quality, promote infiltration, and manage stormwater effectively while providing additional environmental benefits like habitat creation and aesthetic improvements. The chapter outlines specific planning practices, benefits, limitations, and maintenance requirements for each green infrastructure method.

By reducing the amount of stormwater that flows into the Sewer System, green infrastructure helps prevent Sewer Overflows and improves the health of local waterways.

What are the green infrastructure for wastewater treatment?

Types of Green Infrastructure These include constructed wetlands, green roofs, rain gardens, permeable pavements, and bioswales. Constructed wetlands, for example, are engineered systems that use natural processes involving wetland vegetation, soils, and their associated microbial assemblages to treat wastewater.
