SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the Project/Document

    Water resources in the United States are affected by a number of 
climate stressors, including increasing temperatures, changing 
precipitation patterns, and extreme events. These changing conditions 
have implications for stormwater management as local decision makers 
look to improve existing infrastructure and build new stormwater 
systems. EPA and NOAA have conducted a number of workshops and other 
community efforts in cities and counties within the Chesapeake Bay and 
Great Lakes regions to initiate conversations about how projected land 
use and climate change could impact local water conditions and how 
adaptation (resiliency) planning can fit into decision-making processes 
to help meet existing goals. These conversations provided insights into 
the kinds of information that enable and facilitate communities' 
incorporation of climate

change into local planning and decision making for stormwater 
management. The report reviews lessons learned from these adaptation 
planning experiences, including locally identified barriers to 
addressing climate change, methods to overcome barriers in the short 
term, and long term information needs to further assist communities in 
their stormwater adaptation efforts.
