Description
This Program is a Cooperative Agreement between EPA Region 3: The Mid-Atlantic Region and the Low Impact Development Center, Inc. It is being developed to serve as a leadership model for Low Impact Development (LID) recognition programs across the country by creating an Expert Review Panel to review and recognize LID projects/programs and installations. This model will be useful to stakeholders in EPA regions across the country including local and state governments, universities, private industry, non-profits, and individuals. The chosen projects/programs will be showcased across the EPA agency and other panel member websites.

What is Low Impact Development (LID)?
LID is a stormwater management strategy concerned with maintaining or restoring the natural hydrologic functions of a site to achieve natural resource protection objectives. LID addresses stormwater through small, cost-effective site design and landscape features that are distributed throughout the site. LID projects/programs promote public awareness, education and participation in environmental protection.
