(A one -time -only project would not be credited.) It is designed to recognize programs that make structural or permanent changes to the channels or basins to reduce flooding or maintenance problems. In order for a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) to be approved for 50 credit points, the following information must be provided to the ISO/CRS Specialist: ❑ A master list of the community's drainage maintenance problem sites that are in need of elimination or correction. (544b.1) The master list could be of problem sites or choke points submitted in relation to the credit under 541.a.2, provided the commu- nity intends to "eliminate or correct the problem sites." In other words, the list must be related to the capital improvements program. It cannot be just a list of problems that are not slated for an improvement project. The list can be prepared from master watershed plans, complaints, or reports from maintenance crews. Projects do not have to be prioritized or listed in any order. For example, the community may determine which projects will be funded at the beginning of each fiscal year. If the program is administered by a county ormulti-community district (i.e. an organization outside the community's jurisdiction), then the list must be prepared from master watershed plans and not solely on complaints or other ad hoc basis. ❑ The problem sites must be part of the drainage system that the community has mapped for CDR credit (544.a.2) Credit can only be provided if the projects are tied to the community's drainage system as defined in it's drainage maintenance procedures (Section 544a.2). Projects to improve road drainage or storm sewers can only be credited if the roadside ditches or sewers are identified in the community's procedures and regularly inspected and maintained. ❑ Recommended correction measures for the They do not need to be the result of detailed plans or studies. proach (e.g. "enlarge culvert," "bank stabilization, " etc.) problem sites (544b.2).

This could be in the form of a multi-year capital improvement budget or line items in several years' budgets that fund drainage improvement projects.
