WHAT IS A RAIN GARDEN? A rain garden is a landscaped, shallow depression that captures, filters, and infiltrates stormwater runoff at the source. A rain garden removes nonpoint source pollutants from stormwater runoff while recharging groundwater. Rain gardens are an important tool for communities and neighborhoods to create diverse, attractive landscapes while protecting the health of the natural environment.

Camden SMART Initiative: • Reduce neighborhood flooding • Reduce combined sewer overflows • Improve air, water and climate quality

• Develop sustainable environmental policy • Enhance economic development opportunities • Add recreational amenities and open space • Beautify neighborhoods
SMART steps To reduce neighborhood flooding and improve stormwater management
The Initiative is a collaboration between the City of Camden, Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority, Cooper’s Ferry Partnership, Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program, New Jersey Tree Foundation, NJ Department of Environmental Protection, our public-private partners, community organizations, and most importantly, Camden residents to restore and revitalize our neighborhoods.

Did you know? •

Camden has a combined sewer system which makes it more susceptible to backups and flooding. A combined sewer system collects sewage and rainwater in a single pipe system. Trash and debris block storm drainage systems, which can lead to flooding. Trash and debris also pollute our local streams and waterways, which can harm the habitat for many species of plants and animals.
Think SMART! Everyone must do their part!
Be SMART! Take Action! 1. Keep Camden Clean
Keep the street clean. Don’t throw litter into the street. Take an active role by reporting illegal dumping. To report dumping call: PUBLIC WORKS HOTLINE 856-757-7034
2. Clean Your Yard Regularly
Bag, compost or recycle grass, tree limbs, leaves and other yard waste. Uncollected yard waste can clog storm drains when carried by rainwater.
3. Adopt a Drain
Keep your nearest storm drain clear of any debris or trash (including yard waste). Debris blocking the storm drain can easily result in flooding.
4. Collect and Reuse Rainwater
Rain garden on Park Blvd., Parkside neighborhood
7
Take an active role in recycling rainwater and install a rain barrel at your home. By collecting rainwater, homeowners can help reduce flooding and pollution in local waterways. For more information, visit: www.water.rutgers.edu
5. Plant a Rain Garden
A rain garden allows about 30% more water to soak into the ground than a patch of lawn! Rain gardens also help to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff, protecting local waterways. For more information, visit: www.water.rutgers.edu
6. Flood Proof Your Home
Install rain gutters and direct downspouts away from the house. Keep rain gutters clear to prevent blockage. Also grade soil away from your home to prevent basement flooding.
7. Plant Trees and Shrubs
Trees, shrubs, and perennial plants absorb up to fourteen times more rainwater than a typical lawn, and they help to reduce rainwater flow into the sewer system by 35% or more. Trees available for Camden residents. For more information, visit: www.newjerseytreefoundation.org or call 856-287-4488
