SplashBoxx
wins a King Conservation District Award!
Sustainable Seattle has partnered with SplashBoxx, LLC and GeAlogica, LLC to carry out an innovative "above ground" rain garden project at the Port of Seattle.
SplashBoxx makes
it possible to use Nature's stormwater cleaning magic even when the soil
in a particular area does not test well for in-ground rain gardens.
The project is going well. Regular soil and volcanic soil mixes are
being compared as dirty runoff falls from the roof of an old building at
the Port then filters through the SplashBoxx. If successful, the Port
and other highly paved industrial sites are likely to use this approach
to clean the runoff from their operations before it heads into the
Sound. Learn more about the project in the fun video below!
