<br /> When existing site constraints that included a high groundwater
<br /> table, flat topography, and high-quality wetlands at Stone Gate
<br /> ALTERNATIVESTORMWATER development drove up costs of traditional stormwater practices,
<br /> MANAGEMENTMAIQMIZES Bonestroo worked with Lumber One to design a low-impact
<br /> DEVELOPABLESPACE�DECREASES development that relied solely on rain gardens for stormwater
<br /> cosrs management.
<br /> The rain gardens protected more than 36 acres of high-quality
<br /> wetlands and reduced the amount of storm piping and fill needed,
<br /> saving Lumber One money. Because no storm ponds were needed,
<br /> the amount of buildable land was maximized.
<br /> Bonestroo seeded all rain gardens with a custom native seed mix
<br /> designed to facilitate infiltration and improve aesthetics. Five acres
<br /> of uplands and 36 acres of wetlands were designated as community
<br /> open space and enhanced with a showy mix of native prairie
<br /> wildflowers and grasses.
