With fresh water streams on campus and a migratory bird sanctuary at its front door, Royal Roads University seems like the perfect location to test oil filters for storm drains. Officials at two universities and one environmental company agree and Tuesday the first of a series of combination filter/monitors Mike Ansley was installed in a storm drain on campus as a part of a pilot project. The filter not only stops oil from entering the drains, and eventually water systems, but it also incorporates new technology to monitor the filter and sound the proverbial alarms when oil is present. A storm drain by the boathouse, eight drains in the lower parking lot and a drain by the fish ladder on RRU’s campus will have the filters installed. Charla Huber/News staff
