Capital Project Description: This project serves as a placeholder for projects pertaining to the ongoing NPDES MS4 permit requirements. As projects are identified, funding will be allocated to the specific projects. Two examples of these projects are stream restorations and stormwater facility retrofits. Facility retrofits are structural stormwater management measures in urban watersheds that help minimize accelerated channel erosion of downstream waterways, reduce pollution loads, promote conditions for improved aquatic habitat and provide increased detention of higher level storm events. Stream restoration re-establishes the general structure, function, and self-sustaining behavior of the stream systems that existed prior to disturbance. A broad range of measures are incorporated into stream restoration projects including removing watershed disturbances that cause stream instability, installing structures and vegetation to protect stream banks from erosion and provide aquatic habitat, reshaping or replacing of unstable stream reaches with appropriately designed functional streams and associated floodplains.
