Greene County Community Park Stormwater Master Plan : A supplement to the park master plan

The Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) worked with Greene County in 1998 to develop a conceptual master plan for Greene County Community Park. In 2008, CDAC worked with the County Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, and the County Parks and Recreation Director to update the conceptual master plan. Through a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to the Rivanna River Basin Commission (RRBC), CDAC was asked in 2010 to work with the Center for Watershed Protection to craft a stormwater management plan for Greene County Park.
The Center for Watershed Protection described the purpose of the stormwater master plan as follows: “Through the RRBC grant and County efforts, a variety of activities are already planned for the park, including construction of a bioswale between the parking lot and soccer fields and a stream restoration project. The stormwater master plan is a tool to integrate these efforts with other potential projects in order to create a holistic picture of environmental improvements that can be implemented as the park develops through the years.”
This plan is envisioned to serve as an addendum to the current park master plan. The stormwater master plan establishes general guidelines and concepts to address stormwater as different parts of the park develop. Best management practices and low impact development strategies are suggested that can be implemented for different areas of the park.
