This will place stress on the energy grid, as well as physical infrastructure such as roads, utilities, bridges and transportation. Health care infrastructure will be significantly challenged as well. The Comprehensive Environmental & Climate Action Plan scheduled for completion in April 2020 will include actions to address these concerns, as well as order of magnitude level of cost estimating. Cost of project is not available at this time. | Finance secured | Local | https://www.dallasclimateaction.com/ https://dallascityhall.com/departments/officeemergencymanagement/Pages/default.aspx | 1345047 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-96.8004, 32.7801]} | 2020-05-01T04:07:31.380 | |||

This approach satisfies the new MS4 Permit requirement to infiltrate, evapotranspire, or harvest and use the first inch of rain. As of 2016, Metro’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit requires that new development and significant redevelopment sites utilize Green Infrastructure (GI) for post development stormwater control where possible. The design requirement is to infiltrate, evapotranspire, or capture and reuse the first inch of rain preceded by 72 hours of no measureable rainfall. Metro Water Services (MWS) commissioned this Manual to encourage and incentivize GI and LID design in Metro before its use became a requirement. The LID Manual was originally released in 2012, with minor revisions adopted in 2013. MWS has used the period since the Manual’s release to test the methodology while the compliance path was voluntary. | Finance secured | Local | https://www.nashville.gov/Water-Services/Developers/Low-Impact-Development.aspx | 667560 | 2017 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-86.7816, 36.1627]} | 2020-05-01T04:07:31.380 | |||

The Shoreline Study, now referred to as the Shoreline Levee project, is being led by the US Army Corps of Engineers together with local sponsors, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD), the California State Coastal Conservancy (Conservancy), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the City of San José, and other land-owning agencies within the project area. In order to address the threat from tidal flooding as quickly as possible, the local sponsors have narrowed the focus of the current study to the area around the community of Alviso (part of San José) and the San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility (Facility). This area was selected largely because of the “upstream” impacts that would occur if the Facility was flooded, in terms of sewage treatment and the delivery of recycled water. Construction on Reach 1 is expected to begin in 2019. Additionally, the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) at the Facility is addressing this concern through by requiring all new facilities to be built to 1 foot above the 500 year flood line or 13.1 feet-NAVD88. In addition, CIP is exploring possible use of engineered berms to provide primary flood protection to the Facility operational area. | 1046079 | 2017 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-121.886, 37.3382]} | 2020-05-01T04:07:06.200 | ||||||||

The set of rules concerns the management of non-contaminated rainwater, in order to decrease their downstream towards the urban drainage system and thus on the water sources already in critical conditions. This will decrease the effect of urban unloads on already overflowed river streams. The regional regulation also dictates a new discipline for new constructions, for the restoration of the existing ones and for transport infrastructures.The implementation of the regulation is monitored and verified every 3 years, in order to allow for eventual corrections or updates. The City of Milan is currently implementing the regional regulation, while exploring options to include it and integrate it into its own regulation, since from 2020 the regulation has to be completely transposed into the local juridical system. | Feasibility undertaken | Local | https://www.pgt.comune.milano.it/dpnorme-di-attuazione/norme-di-attuazione/art-6-invarianza-idraulica-e-idrologica | 1395274 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[9.08635, 45.8026]} | 2020-05-01T04:07:31.380 | |||

Consistent with this objective, territorial and urban planning have to provide an overall soil consumption within the maximum limit of 3 percent of the urbanized area existing at 01/01/2018.In particular, the new urban planning law requires that the Municipalities, as part of the drafting of the new General Urban Plan (PUG), will identify the perimeter of the urbanized territory and monitor the transformations carried out in implementation of the current urban plan. | Pre-feasibility study status | Local | http://territorio.regione.emilia-romagna.it/notizie/2018/la-nuova-legge-urbanistica-regionale | 132009 | 2017 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[11.619, 44.8357]} | 2020-05-01T04:07:31.380 | |||

Potential smart and low carbon application :• Convert storm water to demineralized water for industrial usage.Efficient management of urban storm water runoff can reduce localised flooding impact. Localized flooding happens when rainfall overwhelms the capacity of urban drainage systems. All the roads in Cyberjaya use conventional paving i.e. asphalt material whilst its parking surfaces use environmental-friendly permeable material i.e. grass crete. Sustainable material such as previous pavement able to capture, slow, filter and possibly infiltrate storm water run-off into the ground, and indirectly prevent water from overwhelming pipe networks and pooling in streets or basements.Recent studies show that implementing green storm water management techniques, such as porous pavement and green roofs, is more cost-effective compared to traditional gray storm water measures like pipes, sewers, and manholes. Other green technology application that enhance infiltration, that can also be adopted includes rain gardens, green roofs, regional storm water pond, constructed wetlands and bio swales. Clearly, effective urban storm water management should extend beyond centralized municipal storm water infrastructure to also include on-site catchment, treatment and usage. Single-purpose gray storm water infrastructure is largely designed to move urban storm water away from the built environment, while green infrastructure reduces and treats storm water at its source while delivering other environmental, social, and economic benefits. Introducing green infrastructure to supplement the existing gray infrastructure can promote urban livability and add to communities’ bottom line. | Finance secured | Local | http://smart.mpsepang.gov.my | 207354 | 2010 | 2020-05-01T04:07:31.380 | |||||

The EWMP Plan provides a blueprint for how to best manage urban runoff to provide for cleaner watersheds through regional collaboration. It describes a compliance pathway that Los Angeles County Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permittees in the watershed will utilize to fulfill requirements contained in the 2012 MS4 Permit.Culver City is implementing the EWMP through a series projects. The Culver Boulevard Storm water Median Project is a subsurface retention and filtration project. Currently in the design phase, it consists of an underground storm water containment structure below the existing raised median that will divert storm water and run-off from approximately 300 + acres of drainage area north of Culver Blvd. The storm water and urban run-off will be collected and retained to irrigate the landscape above. In the future, it may be used to irrigate Veterans and Lindberg Parks. Excess storm water and urban run-off will be filtered to a level in compliance with TMDL’s and discharged back to the storm drain system downstream of the project. Construction is anticipated to begin in May 2019.Another project that is in the design phase is the Washington Boulevard Storm water Diversion Project which is part of the Marina del Rey EMWP Plan. This project proposes to divert and capture storm water and urban runoff from approximately 42 acres of drainage area that currently drains to Marina Del Rey Harbor. The project will be an underground system that diverts the run-off to the sanitary sewer system to be conveyed to City of Los Angeles’ Hyperion Treatment Plant for treatment. Construction is anticipated to begin in May 2019. | 39395 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-118.4, 34.02]} | 2020-05-01T04:07:06.200 | ||||||||

As Medford is located on the Mystic River, a naturally tidal river that has since been dammed, sea level rise will impact the levels of the river, which will therefore impact flooding. According to some studies, the dam may be overtopped by 2050, which will pose an even more serious flooding risk for Medford residents. The City would need to collaborate with the US Army Corps of Engineers and surrounding municipalities to decide what needs to be done. | 57797 | 2017 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-122.876, 42.3265]} | 2020-05-01T04:07:06.200 | ||||||||
