Opequon Creek Project Team
Rain Gardens
PSSD
The PSSD Headquarters Rain Garden (65 District Way, Martinsburg, WV)
is a collaboration between the
Opequon Creek Project Team and the Berkeley County Public Service Sewer
District. In
the
fall of 2009, the Team installed this rain garden
with contributions from PSSD and the
WV Department of Environmental Protection's Nonpoint Source
Program. Because of the time of year, only shrubs
and trees were planted and the garden will be filled in with flowers in
the Spring.

Baltimore Street
The Baltimore Street Rain Garden, at the intersection of Baltimore
and Randolph Streets in Martinsburg, WV is a collaboration between the
Opequon Creek Project Team and the City of Martinsburg. In the
spring of 2008, the Team installed this rain garden
with funding received from
the
WV Department of Environmental Protection's Nonpoint Source
Program. This project included the production of a video which
describes how homeowners can convert such a large garden into a scaled
down version for home use and enjoyment. The Master Gardeners,
Hedgesvill Girl Scout Troop 442 and Faith Christian Academy students
have all donated their expertise and labor to this project.

Judicial
Center
In summer – fall of 2006, the Team helped design and
construct a
rain garden to hold and filter runoff from a large parking lot at the
Berkeley County Judicial Center in Martinsburg, WV. The garden
was
dedicated on November 2, 2007 and a number of dignitaries were present,
including Stephanie Timmermeyer, Secretary of the West
Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. At the
dedication, a sign describing the benefits of rain gardens and listing
the partners involved in the project was unveiled. In the spring
of 2008, the Team, again with the help of the Master Gardeners,
installed a terraced garden on the slope draining into the rain
garden.
