Watershed Improvement Plan (WIP) • WIP is not concrete and steel construction • Substantial expansion of our environmental program to improve water quality and treat highway runoff. • It’s integral to our success as a highway agency. • Great opportunity for diversification in the private sector. • SHA is recognized as a national leader in this area.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) • TMDL as “pollution diet.” • A primary strategy to deliver the WIP. • Includes stream restoration, tree plantings, enhancing and retrofitting old stormwater facilities and constructing new facilities such as bioswales. • Planting thousands of trees for cleaner water to flow into the Chesapeake Bay watershed. • Partnering on environmental projects. • Several design-build contracts for stream restoration and storm water management facilities underway. • Significant opportunities for business expansion.
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) / Watershed Improvement Plan (WIP) • 2013 Legislative Session increased funding • $500M in FY 2014 – 2019 CTP
