註釋This thesis will review Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) strategies and assess the viability of GSI in Homewood. The neighborhood of Homewood is a low-income minority neighborhood. It is because of unsustainable development beginning to take hold in other nearby neighborhoods organizations such as Operation Better Block (OBB) have made it their mission to ensure that these changes will restore the quality of life for Homewood residents. OBB's most recent plan to help Homewood is called the Homewood Cluster Planning Process. Homewood has been divided into 9 clusters and OBB is working to help improve the neighborhood from environmental, economics, and social standpoints (Operation Better Block, 2018). This kind of change not only causes change in the community structure, but it also influences the natural world. Overall, there are two main goals for this project. The first, is to propose ways to support the natural hydrology of cluster 7 in Homewood with GSI. This is done by determining where areas with lowest permeability coincide with hillside slopes. Following EPA guidelines for GSI on steep slopes, two types of locations for GSI are proposed: sites at the top of steep slopes to protect the hillside from erosion and sites downhill to prevent CSOs. The second is to understand the benefits that GSI provides. " -- Abstract
