slowly evaporates in a process called evapotranspiration, thereby
mimicking natural areas. As the water soaks into the ground, it
is taken up by plants, and evaporates into the air, pollutants from
runoff are removed through natural processes, instead of just
cycling into streams and drinking water supplies as it does with
traditional 'gray' stormwater management.
and a rain garden, will reduce the negative impacts of an estimated 7,450,000 gallons of stormwater runoff annually from
the surrounding streets and neighborhoods. Treating this volume of stormwater by green infrastructure methods demonstrates the significant potential for Boone Park West to relieve
pressure on Atlanta's combined sewer system and reduce localized flooding in the surrounding community.
BOONE PARK WEST
Key stormwater management features/practices:
Infiltration lawns
Rain garden
Bioswales
Stormwater capture potential:
7,450,000 gal./yr.
The Boone Park West
project will establish
a new 3.5-acre public park in the English
Avenue neighborhood
on the west side of the
city of Atlanta in the
Proctor Creek watershed. Proctor Creek,
which empties into the
Chattahoochee River,
Atlanta's main source
for drinking water, was
historically an asset and
source of pride for the
surrounding communities. Over many years,
however, the creek's
upper watershed has
become highly impervious from development,
resulting in large volumes of stormwater runoff when it rains.
This runoff is the biggest threat to water quality and habitat in
Proctor Creek. Often, it is blamed for neighborhood flooding,
and it puts a strain on the area's sewer infrastructure. In recognition of these challenges, in 2013, the federal government designated Proctor Creek one of 11 priority waterways under the
Urban Waters Federal Partnership.
The green infrastructure retrofits to Boone Park West, which
includes the installation of two bioswales, two infiltration lawns
