  2. Diverse Funding Sources • Big Picture Infrastructure-Integration • Multiple Benefits-Opportunities for Collaboration • Energy, Transportation, Air , Biodiversity, Food Security, Healthy Communities, Climate Adaptation, Flooding-WATER Quality!! • Think out of the box-be creative! • Public Private Partnerships

  3. EPA’s Report on Green Infrastructure(December, 2015) “Green infrastructure can be integrated into other community improvements or capital projects designed to improve traffic flow, increase pedestrian safety, create multi-modal transportation corridors, revitalize neighborhoods, enhance aesthetics, or address localized flooding and poor drainage”.

  4. “Cities can incorporate green infrastructure into many different types of projects, including when wastewater or stormwater infrastructure is installed or modified, when a roadway intersection is rebuilt or when a new park is being planned”.

  5. Non-Traditional Sources • USDA National Urban and Community Forestry Program • cost-share grants support urban and community forestry projects. • EPA Technical Assistance Program • EPA worked with Saint Paul to produce a feasibility study for a waterfront stormwater park in a vacant industrial area undergoing redevelopment.

  6. Another Source • MPCA’s Environmental Assistance Time Sensitive Grants: • Plan vegetation to reduce urban heat island (and stormwater management) • Video to education public on irrigation (for water conservation) Next grant round will feature Climate Adaptation and Resilience Practices for Extreme Weather (February release –watch the MPCA web site)

  7. Minnesota Stormwater Manual

  8. Today’s Agenda • Met Council • Board of Water and Soil Resources • Minnesota Pollution Control Agency • Minnesota Department of Agriculture • Public Facilities Authority
