1.
1 Establish a Forum to resolve policy issues
                                      issues,
2. Demonstrate key technologies early in the program,
3. Incentivize GI (e.g. Green Improvement Fund),
4. Add Green Infrastructure onto existing capital projects,
   and
5.
5 Have a world class website.

What is Green I f t t ?
Wh t i G      Infrastructure?
Adaptable term used to describe an array of
products, technologies, and practices that use
natural systems – or engineered systems, that
mimic natural processes to enhance overall
environmental quality and provide utility services

What do WE use it for?
Primarily, to capture rainwater during storm events
to reduce the need for more “gray” infrastructure

Your Water Quality Suffers
• 8 % of pollution t th aquatic environment
  80% f ll ti to the        ti     i      t
  comes from land-based sources, such as
  runoff pollution
• New York has identified nonpoint sources as
  the i
  th primary cause of water quality problems

  in 91% of its priority waterbodies
• Once a watershed’s impervious cover
  exceeds 20%, water quality begins to suffer
