Approximately 772 cities in the United States have aging infrastructure that include combined sewers. The overflows from these combined sewers (CSO) are a hazard to the public health, to the environment and are a drain on the finances of these cities. With shrinking tax bases and resources, the alleviation of these CSO’s by using Green Infrastructure has, in many cases, become a low-cost solution. Proper application of Green Infrastructure, however, requires accurate characterization of the soils on the site in a rapid and cost effective fashion. A comparison of soil morphological and physical characteristics in an anthropogenic landscape yields valuable data enabling installation of successful Green Infrastructure Stormwater Management. We have compared and field-tested a number of methodologies in urban settings to determine their usefulness as tools for siting Green infrastructure.
