What is the Camden SMART Initiative ?
The objective of the Camden SMART (Stormwater Management and Resource Training) Initiative is to develop a comprehensive network of green infrastructure programs and projects for the City of Camden. The Initiative is a collaboration betweenthe City of Camden, Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority, Cooper’s Ferry Partnership, Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program, New Jersey Tree Foundation, NJ Department of Environmental Protection, our public-private partners, community organizations, and most importantly, Camden residents to restore and revitalize our neighborhoods. The Initiative includes neighborhood green and grey infrastructure projects, stormwater management policy development, and green infrastructure training programs.
Over 1.5 Million Gallons and Counting!
Within the first two years, the Camden SMART Initiative resulted in the construction of over 20 demonstration projects throughout the City of Camden, including 20 rain gardens, and several rain barrels designed to capture, treat, and infiltrate over 1.5 million gallons of stormwater each year.
