Ventura County bioswale project improves urban runoff quality
From August 2015 through December 2015, an earthen swale planted with native shrubs, grasses and trees was constructed on a portion of the Ojai Meadows Preserve on South Lomita in Meiners Oaks, Calif. Stormwater from an adjacent underground drain pipe will be diverted into the swale to support the vegetation while the vegetation acts as a biofilter for pollutants.
