Working in partnership with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) and a team of experienced delivery partners, Corvias is complementing MMSD’s existing green infrastructure (GI) program through the implementation and management of a platform-based solution that aggregates and streamlines the financial, procurement and project delivery efforts within the District’s service area throughout communities in the Greater Milwaukee Area.

Green Stormwater infrastructure (GSI) has mainly been focused on water quality improvement as part of TMDL or Watershed Protection Plans implementation. Despite abundant scientific evidence of the effectiveness of GSI, its widespread adoption in municipalities has not occurred.

The presentation will discuss the process to develop the document and well as details on the document contents, including GSI BMP technical guidance sheets, standard drawings, BMP train diagrams, plant selection resources, and maintenance considerations.

This presentation will explore how changes in how we approach neighborhood design and resident interactions have helped achieve the multiple benefits of healthy streets and how they are compatible with the principles of green infrastructure and flood mitigation.
