Hunnicutt Creek Green Space Rehabilitation
Area of Interest
1. Uncontrolled runoff from impervious surfaces
2. Unstable banks3. Undercut banks4. Massive erosion5. Loss of biotic integrity
1. Install permeable pavement in parking area
2. Prevent runoff reaching stream
3. Protect downstream habitats
4. Create aesthetically pleasing environment

• Permeable Pavement
1. Allows Runoff to infiltrate surface
2. Water is filtered as it flows through porous material
3. Pollutants are adsorbed onto subsurface sediments
4. Allows water to slowly flow into groundwater
• Installation1. Rubber grid installed over
surface2. Soil medium placed in grid
cells3. Grass planted in soil medium
• Install Rain Garden• Install Impervious
Wall• Add wetland plants
• Basic Rain Garden Design1. Hole dug using backhoe2. Course soil medium is placed in hole to hold water
runoff3. Wetland plant species planted at surface4. Water joins groundwater and slowly joins creek at
base-flow
