GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE FEASIBILITY STUDY AND REPORT

In partnership with Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and the Quassaick Creek Watershed Alliance (QCWA), eDesign Dynamics performed a Green Infrastructure (GI) feasibility study under the funding and guidance from the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson River Estuary Program.

The purpose of the grant and the study was to provide educational outreach to community and municipal stakeholders regarding the feasibility and benefits of GI and generate fundable conceptual designs for specific GI interventions. eDesign Dynamics, Clearwater, and QCWA worked with the City of Newburgh to address local water quality concerns, the federal Clean Water Act, Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), natural hydrologic systems, and to assess community benefits from potential GI interventions. These interventions were developed to complement the City’s draft Long Term Control Plan (LTCP), regular and on-going road reconstruction work, and future land use planning.
