RIDOT Phase II Storm Water Management<

2) Public Involvement and Participation

Permit Requirement:

All Public Participation/Involvement activities must comply with State and local public notice requirements.

Best Management Practices:

The general public will have the opportunity to comment on the annual Storm Water Management Program reports that will be available for public review and comment through a public notice. If more then 25 requests for a public hearing are received during the comment period, RIDOT will hold a public hearing. Otherwise, comments will be reviewed and responses prepared and documented. During this process comments will also be accepted for suggested Storm Water Management Program amendments.

Develop a Transportation Enhancement Improvement
A Transportation Enhancement is a non-traditional transportation improvement with a link to the intermodal transportation system. Enhancements serve to integrate a transportation facility into the surrounding community and natural environment. TEA-21 has established 12 categories under which projects may be considered for funding. Each may have storm water components, but one category, Environmental Mitigation to Address Water Pollution due to High­way Runoff or to Reduce Vehicle Wildlife Mortality while maintain­ing Habitat Connectivity, offers specific funding for storm water enhancement projects.

More information will be available on the RIDOT website when the next call for applications, anticipated to be in 2009, is announced.
