Stormwater Management

Any addition of non permeable surfaces will incur issues with rainwater management. This is usually based on the % of land covered in non permeable surfacing.

Underground basin may be an option
Keeping parking lot permeable (e.g. gravel) cuts down on % covered
Routing gutters to rain garden may cut down on basin size needed
Green roof may reduce basin size
- Green roof increases roof load, installation + maintenance costs
- Provides passive cooling in summer, potentially recouping installation costs in 6 years
- May require irrigation for max cooling
- Possible tax credits depending on municipality

-These are things that are potential nice-to-haves that might add too much to the construction cost to justify
-* Upper level viewing area (a la ECTA), adds a wow factor for watching most things but especially flying and could be good for shows/events
