Groundwater Guardian Green Site

Wayne State College has been designated as a Groundwater Guardian Green Site for 2012 by the Groundwater Foundation of Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Groundwater Guardian Green Site program was developed to recognize good stewards of groundwater by encouraging managers of highly-managed green spaces to implement, measure, and document their groundwater friendly practices. The Groundwater Guardian Green Site program calculates, documents and recognizes the environmental and water quality benefit of groundwater friendly practices on highly managed green spaces. Designation is based on the completion of an application and earning at least 70% of total application points based on current practices related to pesticide and fertilizer use, water use, managing sources of pollution, protecting water quality and environmental stewardship.
