A Neighborhood Model to Address Urban Stormwater Pollutants

WMG has partnered with the Rincon Heights neighborhood to create a model for improving urban water quality.  The focus of the project is on reducing non-point source (NPS) pollutants like pet waste, auto oil, yard fertilizers and sediment, which are often carried by stormwater into urban washes. Best Management Practices (BMPs) for reducing urban NPS pollution include bioretention basins, berms, vegetated buffer strips, mulch and curb cuts.  Through a series of public, hands-on educational workshops, we’ll be installing BMPs on 10 blocks in the Rincon Heights neighborhood.  As the monsoons of 2009 test their effectiveness, we’ll share the lessons learned with other Tucson citizens and neighborhoods, as well as leaders from other Arizona watersheds.
