Projects will include stormwater retention features, such as rain gardens, that will capture, retain, and percolate stormwater and will include a plant density minimum of three plants per 100 square feet. Approximately 25% of project sites will receive an in - person quality control inspection, and up to 100% will receive photo verification to ensure the project terms and conditions are being followed.
