Delta and the City of Hobart have implemented GI installations throughout the city, including a courtyard rain garden at Hobart Middle School, a parking lot rain garden and permeable pavement in the front and backsides of Hobart City Hall, and a large bioswale in the city’s Hillman Park.
The four installations collectively are projected to provide an additional 800,000 to 3.5 million gallons of stormwater management capacity that will improve water and soil quality within the Deep River and Turkey Creek Watershed which drains into Lake Michigan, while also serving as both beautification and environmental education tools for local residents.
