White Paper: Green Infrastructure Maintenance in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

New white paper documenting green infrastructure maintenance gaps and practical fixes across the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Posted August 2026 and distributed through the Chesapeake Stormwater Network, this white paper was built from regional practitioner surveys, focus groups, interviews, and case studies. It examines common green stormwater infrastructure maintenance challenges and offers strategies to improve long-term performance, build workforce capacity, and reduce lifecycle costs. Funded through the Chesapeake Bay Trust's Green Streets, Green Jobs, Green Towns program with EPA support. Directly useful for any municipality or watershed group that has installed GSI and is now facing the maintenance bill.
