Brownfields Revitalization Air Quality Smart Growth Water Quality Local Innovation
 Water Quality

Since 1993, NALGEP has worked with communities to identify cost effective solutions and tools to meet stormwater management requirements, Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) limits, watershed protection, and local clean water goals.  

A few useful resources on this topic include:

EPA’s Water Quality Scorecard: Incorporating Green Infrastructure Practices at the Municipal, Neighborhood, and Site Scale

NALGEP’s BCN Web Cast on Stormwater Management on Brownfield Sites: Constraints, Opportunities, and Regulation Changes

NALGEP's Smart Growth for Clean Water Project focused 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.

Local Innovation
  • City of San Jose Introduces Clean Energy Showcase
    The Green Vision Showcase, located across the street from San Jose's City Hall, will educate the community about the city's Green Vision goals and will serve as a portal for information. It includes demonstrations of clean energy technologies donated by local companies, allowing the community to experience these technologies hands-on.
