Summary of Research Findings Methods Findings Re plumbing Strategies Cost Estimates Barriers to Implementation Grant Options Guidelines for Improved Ditch Management BMP Bulletin For paper copies: Rebecca Schneider RLS11@cornell.edu Strategies for Re plumbing Hydroseeding: slightly increase water infiltration, reduce velocity, and capture most sediment. Check dams: slow water down, reduce incision and erosion, and capture some sediments. 5
6 Strategies for Re plumbing Strategies for Re plumbing Infiltration basins: prevents stream Flooding; increases groundwater recharge; captures all sediments Bioretention swales: reduces runoff and increases infiltration; reduces sediment and filters some nutrients. Constructed wetlands : reduces flooding; captures all sediment; removes most contaminants. Strategies for Re plumbing Win Win: Constructed Wetland Cross road underdrains: reduces flow to streams Permeable pavements: reduces most runoff; allows infiltration. Thank your Highway Department!

Clean Water America Alliance. Barriers to Implementation Barriers to Implementation Top three barriers: (1) Costs: Need funding for design, implementation and maintenance (2) Lack of technical knowledge: not enough experience and knowledge in the development community (3) Resistance from local govt Green infrastructure is undervalued by local government; review process is hurdle; local town planning boards need education 7
