My soil is sandy, therefore it drains water better than a property with clay soil. Why does my property have to follow as many practices as one with poorer soil drainage?
Our mission is to maximize the amount of stormwater managed on-site, and minimize the amount of stormwater runoff into waterways and waterbodies, regardless of the soil type; the practices of BLUESM are designed to achieve just that, as opposed to achieving a set amount of flow. We are also committed to providing consistency among properties, which is essential to maintaining a reliable and trustworthy certification program.
