NPS Program Priorities
Restore impaired water bodies to meet the water quality standards
Reduce the loading of key pollutants into water bodies (N, P, and Sediment)
Fund holistic watershed restoration projects (TMDLs, Watershed Protection Plans)

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) and 319 Funding
![Page 8: Funding Urban Green Infrastructure with Grant Money](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042815/6268f6145de08f7d1f02388a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MS4 and 319 Funding
MS4s required to implement 6 “minimum control measures” (MCMs)
319 grants are prohibited from funding activities required to meet the 6 MCMs
Can fund activities that go above and beyond the MCMs

WHAT CAN BE FUNDED?
319(h) grant can fund “above and beyond” what is required in permit.
Structural – bioswales, raingardens, permeable pavement New and Redevelopment – site-specific post construction
runoff controls Demonstration area for the public, education Tie these activities into TMDL Implementation or a Watershed
Protection Plan

Two Approaches to StormwaterGreen Infrastructure (LID) Capture/Infiltrate; more facilities Control volume
Grey Infrastructure Pipes; fewer facilities Little volume control

Green Infrastructure or LID
Objective - Mimic pre-development hydrology
Practices – Slow, capture, infiltrate, store
Purpose - Reduce runoff volumeand …….. Benefits – Reduce pollutant loading, conserve water supply

Reduce and Re-direct Runoff
Accelerated runoff creek blowouts
Channel blow out Erosive velocities Homes in danger Fish kills Loss of habitat Expensive to repair

Reduce Runoff – BMPsBio-retention
Bio-retention, also called rain garden: a shallow low-lying garden usually with porous fill to absorb and/or filter rainfall.

Reduce Runoff – BMPsPermeable Pavement
captures, filters, and treats runoff in a porous subsurface storage layer.
