[Music playing]

00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:08.770 position:61%
Faith: We're standing at the top of the

00:00:08.770 --> 00:00:13.170
watershed here in a new development

00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:16.390 position:61%
with not a whole lot of pipes in sight.

00:00:16.390 --> 00:00:20.150 position:63%
What's the significance of this project?

00:00:20.150 --> 00:00:21.650
Keith: Well, there are virtually no

00:00:21.650 --> 00:00:23.220
pipes. There are a few culvert

00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:25.430 position:58%
crossings here. We've replaced all of

00:00:25.430 --> 00:00:30.240 position:58%
the pipes with this sand bedded, open

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:32.160
stormwater conveyance system, a

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:33.680
regenerative stormwater conveyance

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:35.920 position:56%
system here. Essentially, the system

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:37.980 position:56%
you see along the road shoulders and

00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:39.460
then what was otherwise going to be

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:41.760 position:61%
bioretention areas here, are all linked

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.310 position:56%
together in a single train to manage

00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:48.610
those water resources.

00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:51.010
Faith: And downstream where on the

00:00:51.010 --> 00:00:55.340
Jabaz Branch or the Severn Run, you

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:57.500 position:61%
were mentioning earlier that that's the

00:00:57.500 --> 00:00:59.740 position:61%
last reproducing brook trout population

00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:02.780 position:72%
along the Coastal Plain on the Chesapeake Bay?

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:04.400
Keith: Yes, this is the peninsula

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.960
between the two forks of the Jabaz

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:09.820
Branch and in fact, you are correct

00:01:09.820 --> 00:01:12.400
there, the Jabaz, those two forks,

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.100
support the last reproducing brook

00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:17.340 position:58%
trout population on the Coastal Plain

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:18.940
of the Chesapeake Bay.

00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:20.460 position:59%
Faith: So very important to manage the

00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:23.900 position:61%
water properly in a new development, to

00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:26.290 position:59%
make sure it doesn't negatively impact

00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:28.160
the trout downstream.

00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:30.160 position:80%
Keith: Only if we want to have those trout survive.

00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:33.550
Faith: Yes, keep them.

00:01:33.550 --> 00:01:35.760
Joe: And the real significant value

00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.280
that this brings, in addition to

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.740 position:56%
meeting minimum management goals, is

00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:47.690 position:97%
for about half of the price of a normal storm-water management system,

00:01:47.690 --> 00:01:54.590 position:98%
this development can come in, put these in, have much better landscaping, much better –

00:01:54.590 --> 00:01:55.870
Keith: Marketability.

00:01:55.870 --> 00:01:57.640
Joe: – yes, marketability. And they

00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:58.760
don't have to have a stormwater

00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.930 position:56%
management pond because peak control

00:02:01.930 --> 00:02:03.350 position:56%
and water quality management are all

00:02:03.350 --> 00:02:05.510 position:59%
done inside of these systems – through

00:02:05.510 --> 00:02:07.450
the sand filtration, through the

00:02:07.450 --> 00:02:10.020 position:56%
sequential stilling of the weirs and

00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:12.090
the pools.

00:02:12.090 --> 00:02:13.900
Keith: In the conveyance, where

00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:15.770 position:61%
otherwise we have been just piping that

00:02:15.770 --> 00:02:19.110 position:59%
water from one device, one contrivance

00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:20.950 position:59%
to the next, and now we're getting all

00:02:20.950 --> 00:02:22.970
those benefits through…

00:02:22.970 --> 00:02:24.030
Joe: All along the flow path.

00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:25.800 position:63%
Keith: All along the flow path, exactly.

00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.200 position:56%
Faith: Plus the added benefit of the

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:30.630 position:56%
landscaping that goes along with it.

00:02:30.630 --> 00:02:32.680
Keith: Absolutely.

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.420 position:72%
Faith: It adds a value to the property itself.

00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:37.480 position:58%
Keith: The developer co-presents with

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:40.350
us at conferences and he's got one

00:02:40.350 --> 00:02:43.320 position:58%
slide up there with dollars on it but

00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:47.370
he tells the story of-- Why is a

00:02:47.370 --> 00:02:49.930 position:56%
developer interested and using these

00:02:49.930 --> 00:02:53.390 position:59%
techniques? well… the ugly storm-water

00:02:53.390 --> 00:02:55.450
management pond, goes away, that's

00:02:55.450 --> 00:02:58.370 position:56%
always the last slot to sell, we get

00:02:58.370 --> 00:03:03.000 position:61%
street side landscaping, and we save 50

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.670
percent of our dollars.

00:03:04.670 --> 00:03:05.440
Faith: The kind of…

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:06.880
Keith: And aside from that, we've

00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:08.320 position:59%
healed the rift with the environmental

00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:11.070 position:67%
community. They're singing our praises now.

00:03:11.070 --> 00:03:12.760 position:56%
Faith: The kind of win-win situation

00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:15.310
between the developers and the

00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:19.660 position:61%
environmentalists, storm-water managers

00:03:19.660 --> 00:03:22.150 position:73%
and eventually down to the fish in the habitat.

00:03:22.150 --> 00:03:23.450
Keith: Where we all want to be.

00:03:23.450 --> 00:03:24.950
Faith: Yes.

00:03:24.950 --> 00:03:29.950
