Case Stories
Permeable Paving
Removing unnecessary pavement or converting impervious surfaces to porous pavement allows stormwater to penetrate soils.This alleviates pressure on storm drains, eliminates non-point pollution sources, and activates nature’s filtration process.
Manure Control & Nutrient Management
When improperly managed, livestock manure can contaminate both surface and ground water with excessive nutrients and harmful bacteria. Investing in new technologies can help manage manure and reduce water pollution.
Green Clean Bridges & Elevated Highways
Polluted stormwater rolls off bridges directly into waterways below. Rain gardens and bioswales on land adjacent to bridges can capture and clean the stormwater.
Site Sustainability Certification
Vulcan Real Estate is the world’s first Salmon-Safe accredited developer, signaling excellence in water quality protection across their entire operation.
