Stormwater Needs Assessment Program (SNAP)
The Water Resources Stormwater Needs Assessment Program (SNAP) focuses on describing stream and storm drainage conditions in Clark County watersheds.
The program assesses watershed resources, identifies stormwater-related problems and opportunities, and recommends specific projects or actions to help protect water quality through stormwater management.
The SNAP is being implemented county-wide during a five-year effort from 2006-2010.
Stormwater Capital Improvement Program (SCIP)
Potential stormwater capital improvement projects identified through the SNAP are submitted for consideration in the Stormwater Capital Improvement Program (SCIP).
The SCIP uses objective criteria to evaluate and prioritize the many possible stormwater projects, and assigns available revenues for project implementation.
Stormwater Capital Improvement Program Involvement Team (SCIPIT)
Development of the SCIP includes a public involvement process, primarily through the formation of a Stormwater Capital Improvement Program Involvement Team (SCIPIT).
The SCIPIT and other public involvement efforts give citizens the opportunity to provide input while helping Public Works to identify community sentiment and reflect public consensus when allocating resources for stormwater projects.
