Best Management Practice Reimbursement Program
Stormwater Runoff and Best Management Practices
Stormwater runoff is rain, snow melt, or surface drainage that does not infiltrate into the ground. It instead runs off impervious surfaces like paved streets, parking lots, and roof tops picking up sediment and debris along the way. Best Management Practices (BMPs) are designed to capture runoff where it lands, infiltrate it into the ground, or slow it down allowing pollutants and sediment a chance to settle out before reaching nearby rivers or streams. BMPs may include but are not limited to rain barrels, soil quality restoration, rain gardens, bioretention cells, permeable paver systems, and native planting buffers/swales.
What is the Cost-Share Reimbursement Program?
The City of Pleasant Hill Best Management Practice (BMP) cost-share program. The goal of this program is to encourage individual landowners to incorporate BMPs on their property to aid in water quality improvements and offset the cost of installation. The City of Pleasant Hill will provide reimbursement for the installation of most BMPs up to 50 percent or $750, whichever is the lesser value and rain barrels up to 50 percent or $75, whichever is the lesser value. Limit one reimbursement for rain barrels per address. Funding is available to applicants on a first come basis and is subject to the approval of the Community Development staff and the director.
