Case Study: Washtenaw County West Service Center<br />

Washtenaw County West Service Center civic buildings are located on sandy soils where infiltration is good, making<br />

the area an ideal location <strong>for</strong> a level spreader. Roof water is directed to the level spreaders, which are set in a gravel bed<br />

and are part of a series of stormwater treatment BMPs on site. On either end of the level spreader are structures with a<br />

sump that can be cleaned out. If the level spreader is overwhelmed because of a large storm, it fills and spills over into<br />

a detention area that is vegetated with native plants.<br />
