The 23.5-acre Renaissance Park on Chattanooga’s North Shore occupies a former industrial site.  An intermittent stream draining over 175 acres of urban watershed cuts through the site and was contributing to significant non-source point pollution of the Tennessee River.  The design for the park included a strategy to remove buried waste and treat it on site rather than be exported to landfills.  A created wetland system now collects and cleans runoff before release into the Tennessee and is the centerpiece of the park that now serves as an amenity for adjacent new residential and mixed use developments.
