Green infrastructure is a team effort, requiring buy-in from multiple agencies, partner organizations, and the public to leverage funding and sustained support through the planning, implementation, and maintenance phases. Nitrogen and bacteria pollution in the Three Bays Watershed in Cape Cod, Massachusetts has created water quality and habitat impairements, leading to closures of beaches and shellfish areas. Over the past six years, an ongoing partnership between the Town of Barnstable, Association to Preserve Cape Cod, Horsley Witten Group, and multiple local community groups has led to the identification of over 70 locations for stormwater improvements in the watershed, including nine green infrastructure practices to remove pollution from runoff before it reaches the bays.

This webinar will showcase how one team turned an initial $450K grant into a $2.3 million project over 6 years and counting. Speakers will share their experiences and tell the story of their collaborative journey to improve stormwater management and water quality in the Three Bays watershed. The webinar will present lessons learned and tips for success, including how to navigate and leverage federal, state and local funds for green infrastructure projects, conduct initial assessments to push a project forward to implementation, rethink project roles to streamline the process, and sustain project support through community engagement.

Presenters:

*         April Wobst, Project Manager and Restoration Ecologist at the Association to Preserve Cape Cod

*         Michelle West, P.E., Senior Water Resources Engineer at Horsley Witten Group, Inc.

*         Nathan Collins, P.E., Assistant Town Engineer for the Town of Barnstable, MA
