To be considered for a LID cost-share grant from the MCWD for the construction of stormwater facilities the following is required:

1. A synopsis of the regulatory requirements for stormwater management for the site must be completed which includes:

• A pre-project assessment of stormwater loading and volumes from the site in its existing condition
• Evaluation of the stormwater facilities and treatment necessary to meet regulatory requirements
• Cost of construction of the stormwater facilities required from regulation
• Evaluation of the low-impact development design, proposed loadings and volumes in a post-project condition
• Cost of construction of the low-impact stormwater design and difference in cost between required elements and low-impact design

2. Engineering review of the proposed low-impact design

3. Educational signage noting the benefits of the proposed facilities and project partners

4. When applicable, credits towards City load allocations identified in the MCWD Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan (2007).  Load allocations credited through District cost-share will be jointly shared by the City and MCWD at 50% of the total loading addressed above and beyond regulatory requirements.  Credits will be distributed proportional to financial contributions.
