The South End divisions, located in Guelph, ON. (Clairfields, Westminster Woods and Pine Ridge subdivisions) were a new development site that also includes a number of green demonstration homes, including Canada’s first LEED Platinum home and a water efficient Blue Built Home, built with [[Infiltration trenches]] in the backyards of the homes. Throughout much of the subdivisions, stormwater runoff is collected from the roadways using typical catchbasins and piping. However, rather than discharging to a stormwater management pond, the runoff is directed to large-scale [[Bioretention]] facilities, known as “greenways.

The site sits on sandy soils, which are ideal conditions for low impact development practices that infiltrate stormwater. A  large [[Bioretention]] cell was constructed in the center of the parking lot. The bioretention cell filters and absorbs rainwater running off the parking lot. The bioretention cell is also landscaped with many native plants that create habitat for the numerous bird and insect species on the site.
