Green Stormwater Infrastructure Considerations The climatic conditions, ecosystem type, and hydrological conditions dictate what stormwater management solutions work best where. Planning for the type and location of green stormwater infrastructure needs to consider the pollutant(s) of concern, available right-of-way or land, existing soil conditions and infiltration rates, and other specific aesthetic goals of the proposed improvements. In addition, contaminated soils may be a challenge within the East Berry Study area which would require remediation before filtration stormwater features could be installed. A PID could be utilized to help establish and continue maintenance of landscaping and other public improvements throughout the corridor. Working with the community would allow the City to establish the types of improvements, maintenance level, and assessment amount to be levied against affected property owners. G11. Install pet waste disposal systems at parks, trails, and dense residential areas. Pet waste pollutes local waterways and increases the presence of fecal coliform when not properly disposed of. Install pet waste stations in parks, trails, and residential areas. Providing these stations at proposed, higher density development sites with larger dog populations is important for healthy waterways. G12. Monitor frequent illegal dumping areas and put up signage to deter behavior. Work with local partners or City departments to monitor illegal dumping and provide educational signage to report offenders. G13. Explore the creation and implementation of a Public Improvement District (PID) to offset costs associated with public improvements and maintenance.
