Project Location: Baltimore City, MD

Problem: The 30-acre MedStar Harbor Hospital campus sits on the banks of the Patapsco River adjacent to a public recreational trail in a hyper-urban setting with impervious surfaces covering 18 acres. Every year roughly 20 million gallons of stormwater runoff is discharged directly into the river adding to pollutant totals and water quality issues.

Project location: Baltimore, MD

Problem: In Baltimore’s urban, impervious downtown, high volumes of polluted stormwater had nowhere to go but into Inner Harbor.

Project location: Towson, MD

Problem:  The residential streets of West Towson have historically been lined with large oak trees, which beautify the community, buttress property values, and assist with stormwater management.  However, many of these trees were being lost each year due to environmental stresses and the trees’ age.

Problem: Baltimore’s Kadampa Meditation Center is located in the urban Chinquapin Park neighborhood.  In addition to the Buddhist temple, the Center also houses a café, bookshop, and now, a World Peace Meditation garden.  Previously, the Center’s campus had been experiencing drainage issues, with runoff from the facility’s large roof and parking lot unable to adequately drain, due to poor site grading and existing soil conditions.
