The Missouri Botanical Garden has received a Nonpoint Source Implementation Grant from the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. The Botanical Garden will partner with MSD and Deer Creek
watershed municipalities to develop a homeowner cost-share program to install plant-based green infrastructure
management practices. The project will include a water quality monitoring component to measure project effectiveness. The
Botanical Garden will partner with the Litzsinger Ecology Center, MSD, and Washington University to collect or share water
quality data related to the Deer Creek watershed and document green infrastructure efficiencies at demonstration sites. This
agreement provides reimbursement of up to $200,000 to the Missouri Botanical Garden for costs related to the construction
and monitoring of green infrastructure. Section 319 funds provided by the EPA amount to $706,724; nonfederal matching
funds amount to $471,957, for a total project cost of $1,178,681.

Additional Comments: The main goal of the Missouri Botanical Garden Deer Creek Watershed Initiative project is to
reduce impacts in the Deer Creek watershed by implementing green infrastructure technologies to improve water quality
stemming from nonpoint source pollution, with a focus on plant-based solutions. The project will use various techniques to
achieve the overall goal through implementation, demonstration, education, and planning efforts. The following techniques
will be utilized to achieve the overall objectives: decrease erosion, sedimentation and other nonpoint source pollutants by
capturing and infiltrating stormwater runoff on-site by utilizing volume-based hydrology approaches; protection of streams
and groundwater from chloride; reduce bacteria pollution in the watershed related to animal waste; and reduce water
pollution caused by yard waste and organic debris. In addition, this project will aid the District in gaining performance
effectiveness of green infrastructure.
