DESCRIPTION
In November, 2006, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) provided a grant to fund innovative, low impact development stormwater management projects. Grass Lawn Park reopened at the end of summer 2008 to reveal the use of many low impact development techniques. The City is monitoring the performance of the various LID techniques and reporting that information to the Department of Ecology.
There are several LID techniques in use within Grass Lawn Park where there are educational signs posted to describe the benefits of these various techniques.
