Fresh Coast Green Schoolyards Program: MMSD GI Service Area

The foundational goals of the program include: • Create an equitable process to provide schools in the District’s GI Service Area (see Attachment H) with green infrastructure engineering plans to improve their outdoor schoolyard space for stormwater management • Work with four public schools in the District’s GI Service Area over two years • Provide environmental, economic, and social benefits to the schools through green infrastructure and connections to supporting services, i.e. encouraging student involvement through curriculum connections, touring District facilities, and offering opportunities for community involvement in the planning process • Help the District to achieve compliance with the GI requirements in the District’s current Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) permit • Help the District’s participating municipalities meet current and future Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit requirements • Partner with local community groups and/or workforce development programs to introduce students to water industry education and career pathways • Assist the schools with putting together funding applications for the District’s funding program • Plan for GI installations in both the combined and the separated sewer areas • Have the engineering designs consider cost efficiencies and local funding sources along with future maintenance needs and abilities of the building managers • GI installation may be in both the combined sewer area and the separated sewer area
