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
