Capital Project Description: The Reforestation Program, named Creek ReLeaf, ranks and reforests public and private lands throughout the County. Public properties are identified through various screening processes while private properties are identified through voluntary applications by landowners into the program on a yearly basis. Once private property applications are received, properties are ranked and prioritized by set factors related to the goals and success of the reforestation program. To secure and protect the trees planted on private properties and to comply with the County ¶ s NPDES MS4 permit, permanent conservation easements are obtained and sites are triennially inspected at a minimum to ensure adherence to the conservation easement. The Reforestation Program will assist the County in obtaining impervious equivalent credits towards the NPDES MS4 Permit.
