• - Violation of CWA –- combined sewer
overflows (CSO) - “Combined” sewers
Stormwater & wastewater
–- wet weather = CSOs –- public health and –environmental issue

Green Infrastructure (GI)
• - Engineered plant-soil systems –* Rain gardens

Cleveland
•Question: –- Where do we infiltrate stormwater runoff to “dry-up” CSOs?
- Vacant lots

•- Adaptive Management (AM) Framework
•- AM = Iterative process - incorporates citizen and stakeholder input
•- AM: critical aspect of Adaptive Governance

Green Infrastructure (GI)
• Direct GI benefits: –- Reduction in runoff volume –- Increased detention capacity –- Restoration of natural hydrologic cycle

Green Infrastructure (GI)
• Co-benefits from GI: - Aesthetics
–- Recreation
–- Ecosystem services (e.g., pollination)
–- Socio-economic benefits (long-term)

Integrating Adaptive Management into governance
*Case Study: Cleveland - Slavic Village
Project
What is Adaptive Governance?

• Resilience –- Capacity of a system to withstand change –- If resilience is “eroded”
• System becomes vulnerable to regime shifts • Alternate regime: different set of processes and structures (e.g., coral to algae dominated reef)

Multiple regimes • - For our purposes, urban watershed is in a degraded regime
• - Resilience isn’t a “good” thing here
• - Must erode the resilience of the degraded regime –- transform watershed to a different, “improved”
regime that mimics the natural system

• Adaptive Management –- Integration of resilience theory into natural resources management
–- Alter management in response to monitoring

Adaptive Governance
–1) Legislation and Accountability
• *Adaptive Management 2) “Intermediaries” *Bridging organizations (SVDC) and networks
–3) Matching organizations to the appropriate scale • *Panarchy

Cleveland: Slavic Village Project
• - Phase 1: Collecting baseline data • - Gathering hydrologic and ecosystem services data
- Phase 2: Control sites and treatment sites (i.e., implement GI in vacant lots)

–- Goal: GI contain stormwater –- Hydrologic and ecosystem services data • - Information feeds back into the AM process

Slavic Village Project • - Cleveland Botanical Garden is a key player in project
–* 12 rain gardens into vacant lots - Plants have been selected for provisioning of
ecosystem services (e.g., pollination)
- Ohio State University will plant 20-30 vacant lots (“minimalist” GI)

Pollinators
• - Trade-off between citizen preferences and best plants for pollinators
• - Why? If citizens don’t like what they see they will be less likely to stay engaged in work
• - Worse………might chop plants down
