REDWOOD CITY management and engineering and economic feasibility. The EPA RAA Guide provides an example of three differing perspectives for defining reasonable assurance (USEPA 2017): • Regulator Perspective - Reasonable assurance is a demonstration that the implementation of a GI Plan will result in sufficient pollutant reductions over time to address TMDL WI -As or other targets specified in the MRP. • Stakeholder Perspective - Reasonable assurance is a demonstration that specific management practices are identified with sufficient detail, and implemented on a schedule to ensure that necessary improvements in water quality will occur. • Permittee Perspective - Reasonable assurance is based on a detailed analysis of the TMDL WI -As and associated MRP targets themselves, and a determination of the feasibility of those requirements. The RAA may also assist in evaluating the financial resources needed to meet pollutant reductions based on schedules identified in the MRP. Appendices C and D provide full documentation of the technical approaches and results of the SMCWPPP RAA, which are consistent with the recommendations of the EPA RAA Guide and Bay Area RAA Guidance. 2.3 Preliminary Identification of Opportunities for GI Projects To support the RAA and GI Plans, C/CAG has initiated a number of planning efforts that identify opportunities for GI implementation. The following is a summary of those efforts: • Low Impact Development (LID) for New Development and Redevelopment — The MRP includes a Provision (C.3) for the integration of LID within new development and redevelopment. As LID techniques are implemented as new development and redevelopment occurs throughout Redwood City, the benefits of such practices in terms of reducing urban runoff flows and associated pollutant loads can be considered as part of the pollutant load reductions attributed to implementation of GI. C/CAG worked with San Mateo County Permittees to compile information on LID practices that have been implemented within new development and redevelopment since water year 2003 (baseline year for the TMDL). C/CAG also performed an analysis to project the number of acres of future new development and redevelopment to be addressed through Provision C.3 by 2040. The RAA considers existing LID practices and projections of LID in future new development and RWC GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Figure 2.
