This document outlines preferred culvert design guidelines when used as a crossing structure in fish-bearing streams per the USFWS Alaska Fish Passage Program. It includes design considerations, a site survey checklist, and pre- and mid-construction checklists.

This guide provides information on designing and maintaining green roofs in arid western states. It provides information on when certain types of green roofs are most appropriate and their different benefits.

These reforms acknowledge the shared responsibility for disaster response and recovery, aim to reduce the complexity of FEMA, and build the nation’s capacity for the next catastrophic event. The law contains 56 distinct provisions that require FEMA policy or regulation changes for full implementation, and includes discussion on mitigation strategies that include NBS. This page provides an overview of each provision.

Covering dune ecology and engineering, this guide gives specific instructions for restoring both front and back dune ecosystems. Additional topics covered include season variability, dune breaches, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) dune standards, and invasive species.

Individualized guidance for each US ecoregion detailing the plants appropriate for pollinator gardens in that region.

Individualized guidebooks for each US ecoregion detailing the pollinators and plants appropriate for pollinator gardens in that region.

In a search to find the most effective restoration practices, the authors reviewed numerous restoration projects. Additionally, the guide includes case studies and recommendations to practitioners.

This site includes free tools, data and technical expertise about energy strategies, including energy efficiency, renewable energy and other emerging technologies, to help state, local and tribal governments achieve their environmental, energy, and economic objectives. While many of these resources were developed for state and local governments, Tribes may also find them useful. Several of these tools include programs that users can use to estimate future impacts of energy use, predict costs, and estimate benefits. 

This guidebook compiles several case studies illustrating alternative approaches to riverbank stabilization across Washington state.

This document highlights engineering with nature (EWN) principles/projects by providing illustrations and descriptions of constructed projectsaround the contiguous U.S. and globe.

Handbook for coastal communities and public agencies that can inform the protection, management, and restoration of mangroves. Focuses primarily on high-level policy guidance.

This resource hub includes several links that EPA has backed to help communities implement green stormwater infrastructure projects. These include links to maps, a green infrastructure scorecard tool, planning/design/and implementation tools and guidbeooks, links to funding opportunities, links to climate modeling tools, collaboration guides/support, and a library of resources specific to implementing green stormwater infrastructure to meet Clean Water Act requirements.

How's My Waterway was designed to provide the general public with information about the condition of their local waters based on data that states, federal, tribal, local agencies and others have provided to EPA. Water quality information is displayed on 3 scales in How’s My Waterway; community, state and national. 

In this study, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, quantified the potential for landward migration of tidal saline wetlands along the U.S. Gulf of America coast under alternative future sea-level rise and urbanization scenarios. These findings can provide useful information for scientists and environmental planners working to develop future-focused adaptation strategies for conserving coastal landscapes and the ecosystem goods and services provided by tidal saline wetlands.

This report contains a literature review that explores the development of a tool that guides the selection, configuration, and location of WRC.

This order explains the duties to be performed by all federal agencies to limit the impacts of invasive species throughout the United States.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) have collaborated to develop passage design guidance for use by engineers and other restoration practitioners considering and designing nature‐like fishways (NLFs). The primary purpose of these guidelines is to provide a summary of existing fish swimming and leaping performance data and the best available scientific information on safe, timely and effective passage for 14 diadromous fish species using Atlantic Coast rivers and streams. 

This resource proposes values specific to green infrastrcutre and their associated benefits that can be used to standardize the BCA process for green infrastructure project applicants.

This webpage links to three job aids published by FEMA detailing various forms of NBS (aids coded and discussed below:

This guidebook serves as a roadmap for implementing each step FEMA has identified for building climate resilience with state, local, tribal and territorial partners. It includes tools, programs, and funding support supported/managed categorized by each step of the cycle to build resilience.
