- Stormwater management projects such as rain gardens and ecoroofs.
- Green street projects that manage stormwater in the street.
- Removing pavement or using pervious pavement.
- Drainage improvements that fix problems with standing water and nuisance flooding, and provide stormwater management or enhance drainageways.
