• There are many different pathways to compliance with the phosphorous reduction requirement • A combination of projects that will meet the phosphorous reduction requirement – a “Project Portfolio” – must be chosen • Each ”Project Portfolio” has different impacts, costs, and benefits • Many potential projects involve neighborhood construction, impacts on parking, or changes in how leaves, lawns, or yards are managed

• Wastewater & Combined Sewers – greater certainty, but more cost & no neighborhood greening benefit • Green stormwater infrastructure – preferred in some neighborhoods, less regulatory certainty & changes to streets • Operations - Street sweeping, catch basin cleaning, rebates, incentives – less certainty, involve individual behavior changes, but other ancillary benefits • Grants/rebates : Provide more funds for property owners to take beneficial steps? • Regulations are more effective than incentives, but impose cost • Leaf control has big impacts on phosphorous loading – but may require different regulations and actions • Street sweeping improves bikeability and protects the lake – but requires more intensive parking management
