Low-Impact development (LID)

LID emphasizes practices which infiltrate stormwater (using proper safeguards to protect groundwater) on-site rather than collecting, conveying and discharging stormwater off-site.

Some exciting LID projects Mason CD has been working on:
In Progress: 
  • MTA Transit-Community Center
                    
Completed:
  • PUD 3​​​        
  • Turning Pointe Domestic Violence Services 
  • Pioneer School
  • Southside Elementary School 
  • Hood Canal School
Mason CD installed a permeable parking lot and an extensive rain garden at the new PUD 3 building on Johns Prairie Rd. in Shelton
​This rain garden was installed in the Southside Elementary parking lot, with much help from volunteers, to prevent flooding and reduce ​stormwater runoff
