$158,000
Description
To further their mission of conservation implementation and to encourage the adoption of stormwater best management practices, the Black Hawk Soil and Water Conservation District is partnering with the Cedar Falls School District to help implement the community vision for the construction of a sustainable high school, including significant water quality components that will benefit the Cedar Valley community, Dry Run Creek, and the Middle Cedar River watershed. This will include over 30 acres of native prairie landscaping and several bioretention cells, in addition to existing soil quality restoration, to reach the intended stormwater management and water quality goals. A diverse suite of BMPs will be integrated to manage stormwater runoff and demonstrate the multitude of conservation opportunities, all strategically placed in vital areas of the school grounds.
