About the Learning Lab:
Nonpoint source pollution has been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as the major source of pollution for surface and ground waters. Many states also list nonpoint source pollution as the major category of surface and ground water pollution as summarized by EPA 303(d) list of impaired streams and rivers. LID Best Management Practices have been shown to improve the quality of stormwater runoff and facilitate infiltration increasing ground water capacity. This Learning Lab addresses how to promote and implement LID Best Management Practices and showcases new and emerging research at Auburn University that has potential to significantly improve stormwater management programs at the municipal level. Gain Information On: * Low Impact Development and other "Green" designs * Innovative planning initiatives for LID policy * Current research in IMP's at Auburn University.
