14. Low Impact Development (LID) & MS4 • What is LID? • LID in the HCPis an incentives based program that allows citizens to participate in improving the quality of the runoff that occurs in and around watersheds draining to Landa Lake. • How does LID in the HCPdiffer from MS4? • LID program in the HCP concentrates on opportunities for stormwater quality enhancement in areas draining to critical habitats. The MS4 program is a city wide city funded program.

15. LID focus • Public education is focused on citizens within watersheds draining to critical habitats • Long term establishment of program efficiencies based on water quality monitoring • Rebate program for LID features in areas just upstream of critical habitats • Website development of the habitat and LID education relationship • Pilot and Test projects • BMP’s • New technologies for improving water quality

17. Impervious Cover / Water Quality / LID • Budget • Table 7.1 $ 100,000 • 2014 WP $ 100,000 • No identified decisions or deviations

18. Impervious Cover / Water Quality (WQ) / Low Impact Development (LID) • 2013 work plan activities • Beginning stages of the creation of the overall LID plan through public involvement and meetings with City of New Braunfels • 2014 work plan • Further development of LID/WQ program in watersheds draining to critical habitats • Implementation of the LID/BMP program utilizing public involvement and feedback
