Mariposa Montessori School

The Mariposa Montessori School project is a 7.8-acre private school project in southwest Austin. The site is permitted for four school buildings totaling approximately 25,000 square feet in the environmentally sensitive Barton Spring watershed and TCEQ Recharge Zone so a Water Pollution Abatement Plan (WPAP) was required to be permitted through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

To achieve the non-degradation water quality requirements required in the Barton Springs Zone, we designed two retention re-irrigation water quality ponds along with a stacked detention pond to mitigate the increased stormwater flows near the Mariposa Montessori School.
