MSD Green Infrastructure Pilot Program – St. Louis, MO

M3 Engineering Group

Reitz & Jens, as the subconsultant to M3 Engineering Group, helped complete the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District’s pilot program to evaluate and design green infrastructure in the Bissell watershed.  Reitz & Jens’ primary role was to evaluate and measure the ability of existing site conditions to allow surface water infiltration, make recommendations for enhancing infiltration rates, and measure the effectiveness of soil amendments and constructed best management practices on improving infiltration rates and water quality. 

Reitz & Jens evaluated a total of 10 green infrastructure alternatives that would help reduce Combined Sewer Outflows to the Mississippi River through a reduction in stormwater runoff. The alternatives under consideration included bioretention, pervious pavements, wet ponds, dry swales, sand filters, organic filters, and a combination thereof.
