DESIGN / FEASIBILITY STUDY

EcoGro was contacted by Dr. Tuttle to assess a situation involving stormwater runoff from a historic property in the heart of downtown Lexington. The client’s concern centered on stormwater from parking lots and buildings appeared to have been routed towards an old limestone retaining wall running along Vine Street. Following heavy rains, water had been observed flowing over the wall as well as seeping out of cracks and gaps. It was unclear as to where water was going, the existence and condition of stormwater infrastructure, as well as the boundaries of the work area. We recommended a stormwater feasibility study to answer these questions. In 2022, EcoGro partnered with Stantec Consulting Services to develop and submit a stormwater grant application.
