challenging projects
With acres of impervious parking lots and roads, Maplewood Mall was a perfect candidate for a stormwater-management system overhaul. Working with the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District, the City of Maplewood’s staff and the mall’s owner, Barr designed a system that reduces phosphorus runoff to a local lake by 60 t0 80 percent while meeting regulatory, technical, and aesthetic challenges.
The final design incorporated above- and below-ground treatment facilities and storage for stormwater reuse, with care taken to maximize available parking space. Engineered soils and subsurface irrigation allow plantings to thrive even in challenging parking-lot conditions. Barr’s design also introduces public art and gathering spaces in addition to providing community environmental education. Mall owners are excited about the public-relations benefits of the transformation and the opportunity to draw new tenants and shoppers.
