What is it?
The Issue: Selected waters associated with environmental corridors do not currently meet state or other desired water quality goals. Flooding and other hazards or nuisance conditions associated with water flow threaten life and property. Urban development impacts open space availability and habitat quality.
A Vision of Success: 2,400 miles of SAFE environmental corridors where flooding is reduced, CLEAN corridors where water quality meets or exceeds state standards, and GREEN corridors where ribbons of greenways are tied together for ecological benefits and recreational & mobility opportunities throughout North Central Texas.
Steps to Success: NCTCOG with local governments and state/federal partners implements the action recommendations of the adopted SEE Safe Clean & Green (SC&G) Regional Environmental Corridors strategic plan for the common objectives explained in these sections:
SEE Safe:
- COMMON Vision for floodplain management
- HazMAP - hazard mitigation action planning
- "10 by 2010 Plan" mitigation strategies for hydrologic hazards
- iSWM - integrated Storm Water Management for water quantity (and quality)
SEE Clean:
SEE Green:
Indicators of Success: Safer, cleaner and greener regional environmental corridors.
