===Example 5: [https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2020/09/CVC-Glendale-Rain-Garden-Case-Study.pdf Glendale Public School Rain Garden]===
Glendale Public School in Brampton faced increased urbanization, limited stormwater controls, and on-site drainage issues that were harming aquatic health in nearby Fletchers Creek, particularly the endangered Redside Dace. To address these concerns, CVC designed a large-scale rain garden using a treatment-train approach, incorporating three swales, conveyance pipes, an underdrain system, and a flow-control valve.
'''Stormwater Management Criteria'''
'''Stormwater Management Criteria'''
*Quantity Control –
*Quantity Control – the rain garden was designed to capture runoff from a 27mm storm, covering up to the 90th percentile of the annual rain events in the area.
*Quality Control –
*Quality Control – reducing total suspended solids (TSS) by 80% before entering Fletcher’s Creek and providing thermal control by cooling runoff before discharging
*Water balance/Erosion Control –
*Water balance/Erosion Control – increased floodplain storage by a total of 800m3 reducing flooding potential during large storm events.
