NALGEP is working with communities to identify cost effective solutions and tools to meet the new Phase 1 and Phase II stormwater requirements, the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) restrictions and local clean water goals. 

NALGEP's Smart Growth for Clean Water project focuses on the use of smart growth tools like land conservation, greenway buffers, the creation of parks and open space, natural and constructed wetlands, low impact development, watershed-based management, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping, and other tools to reduce nonpoint source pollution control stormwater, and improve water quality.
