4. Strategy Continual Process Achieve “on the ground” results more efficiently than any existing mechanism Address local and regional community and environmental priorities Improve communication, trust, and support between regional stakeholders Leverage resources ($$ and in-kind) and share best practices and information

5. Business Case for Partners Leverages resources (over $1MM in 2006) and expertise Establishes a positive framework for dialogue on regional environmental issues Improves information exchange and environmental best practices sharing, leading to cost-effective environmental management Provides needed tools to address individual and regional environmental, social, and economic issues

6. Partner & Workgroup Efforts Storm water: Workgroup actively engages regulatory community regarding programs & tools to tackle Chesapeake Bay watershed issues Land Conservation/Encroachment: Partners placed over 1,400 acres into protective easement supporting Governor Kaine’s Land Conservation Initiative Air Quality: Partner project to test and verify NOx absorbing concrete at U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir

7. Highlights Goal --Reduce stormwater pollution from V-REMS partners’ operations, improving water quality in Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay. Polluted stormwater runoff destroys animal/plant habitat & threatens public health Primary approach to controlling stormwater – using Best Management Practices (BMPs) A Solution: The Challenge: Reducing point & non-point source stormwater pollution Leveraging the V-REMS Collective Knowledge & Experience with BMPs Quick Facts: Stormwater
