Following the completion of previous projects at a few Lexington schools, our project team of EcoGro, Ridgewater and Stantec Consulting Services approached our contacts at Fayette County Public Schools (FCPS) to see if they would be interested in assessing stormwater conditions at all properties owned by the school district. Because the city of Lexington had enacted a new stormwater management fee in 2010, the FCPS district had a new financial cost that corresponded directly to the amount of impervious surface area it owned. As one of the city’s largest property owners, it became one of the largest rate payers.
