Water Resources | 57Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />Secondary Actions <br />S8. Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan <br />Emissions reduction City Cost $0 <br />Co-benefits Community Cost $0 <br />To further support on-site stormwater management (Action E17) and <br />sustainable infrastructure (Actions P3 and P11), the City will participate <br />and support regional Green Stormwater Infrastructure Planning <br />efforts that build off and support the City’s NPDES permit to ensure a <br />sustainable approach for managing stormwater runoff. The City can <br />use the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Planning Level Analysis for <br />Livermore-Amador Valley as a tool to inform efforts and choose the <br />most cost effective and beneficial strategies. <br />The efforts may include the following: <br />• Replace traditional grey infrastructure with bioretention areas, <br />green roofs, permeable pavement, and rainwater catchment. <br />• Explore retrofit opportunities and integration of green <br />infrastructure into existing and new City facilities. <br />• Incorporate green infrastructure and stormwater management <br />into infrastructure projects (e.g., rainwater harvesting, permeable <br />pavements, and green roofs). <br />• Ensure future infrastructure and retrofits are adequately sized to <br />be able to handle future flows and storms exacerbated by climate <br />change.
