Approximately 1/3 of the roof is covered in vegetation. The benefits of a “living roof” include:• Reduces the amount of stormwater runoff
• Absorbs air pollution and carbon dioxide
• Reduces the energy needed to cool the building in summer

What benefit does stream restoration provide? • Reduces soil loss, phosphorus and nitrogen nutrients. • TP reduction credits up to 2.6x the CBPO interim value and TN
reduction credits up to 5x the CBPO interim value.
![Page 28: Dead Run Stream Restoration Project Meeting: Feb. 18, 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051414/55a562fc1a28ab6d4e8b46f3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Evaluate tree conditions.• Inform design and decision
making.• Trees 12” and larger
located.• Significant effort has been
made to re-design channel to save and protect trees.
