Every year, Buckeye-Shaker Square's street trees prevent approximately 638,944 gallons (85,414 ft3) of stormwater from infiltrating into the wastewater treatment system. This values out at $5,710 per year in foregone sewage treatment costs. This amounts to an average savings of about $7.69 per acre and $2.15 per tree. Among all species, Norway maple remediates the highest volume of peak stormwater flow. On a per-tree basis, however, tulip tree remediates the highest volume of peak stormwater (110 ft3 tree/year).
Cudell's street trees prevent approximately 480,587 gallons (64,245.25 ft3) of stormwater from infiltrating into the wastewater treatment system. This values out at $4,295 per year in foregone sewage treatment costs. This is an average savings of roughly $6.15 per acre and $2.72 per tree. Of all the species in Cudell, London planetree is the hardest-working tree with respect to remediating peak stormwater flow. London planetree tops the list both as an overall species and on a per-tree basis (105 ft3 tree/year).
