The Kingston Pond: A Case Study of Stormwater Pond Upgrading

  • Conference paper
Enhancing Urban Environment by Environmental Upgrading and Restoration

Part of the book series: Nato Science Series: IV: Earth and Environmental Sciences ((NAIV,volume 43))

Abstract

The results of a decade of interdisciplinary research and our relations with stakeholders at the Kingston Pond stormwater management facility provide an excellent background for recommending retrofits that are likely to be effective in removing the priority pollutants of today. However, there are two challenges to implementation. First, the community, as represented by it elected officials and public employees, may not deem stormwater pollution as a priority problem and will not authorize the required funding. Second, care must be taken to make the retrofitted facility as adaptive as possible so that future retrofits are possible if conditions change.
