PROJECT SELECTION—BEYOND THE MATHEMATICS OF THE ATLAS RANKINGS
QUESTION: Given your unique local knowledge and expertise, is there other criteria that should be used to select water quality improving projects for implementation?
NEXT STEPS: Add any missing criteria, select top 3, and note how each should be rated
INITIAL SELECTION OF PROJECTS FROM PROJECT ATLAS
Using the final criteria and rating system select water quality improving projects for implementation from Project Atlas. This is a “draft” selection 10 “high” rated projects across the board (stream
preservation/restoration/enhancement, buffer restoration, stream bank stabilization, wetland preservation/enhancement, stream reach, stormwater BMPs)
Final Criteria Rating System
