ONE MILLION GALLONS!
Community Partnership Program
project description
ASLF, in partnership with Onondaga County Water Environment Protection (WEP), is excited to announce the launch of the One Million Gallons! (OMG!) program beginning in 2020. OMG! is a green stormwater infrastructure (GI) design, outreach, and financing program with the goal of intercepting 1 million gallons of stormwater from the combined sewer system in Syracuse by the year 2025. This will be accomplished through the installation of GI on both private and public property, and may include a variety of design solutions such as rain gardens, pervious pavement, tree trenches, bioswales, green roofs, and rain barrels. ASLF will work with partners ranging from institutions to private homeowners. Outreach and education will be a significant part of the program as we aim to spread the word on the many benefits of GI in our urban neighborhoods.
