Rain garden in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania

Inkberry holly grows in a rain garden that traps and filters stormwater runoff pollution at Korn Street Park in Kingston, Pa., on Sept. 10, 2024. The 2,500-square-foot rain garden was designed to hold 17,000 gallons of stormwater and was installed in 2020 as the first of 52 pollution reduction projects funded by the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority’s stormwater fee in order to meet federal mandates to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment pollution reaching the Chesapeake Bay. The work was advanced by a 2017 grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Small Watershed Grants (SWG) and Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction (INSR) programs.
