Am amazing project is taking shape, thanks to many in the Jacksonville area including; St. Johns River Keeper, Coca-Cola, City of Jacksonville, San Marco Preservation Society, Councilwoman Lori Boyer, Greenscape and others.

| The future bioswale area contains large roots, urban soils and presents challenges |
The bioswale site will collect stormwater from the library roof and site as well as other adjacent impervious areas and provide both attenuation and water quality treatment.
 |
| Bioswale construction will incorporate existing utility systems into the layout |
Our documentation will hopefully provide a basis for future similar low impact development best management practices for Jacksonville and surrounding areas.
