Previous research into sustainable development practices to safeguard water quality have led me to research a presentation on barriers to implementing LID and LEED construction. The bibliography includes hyperlinks to EPA documents, as well as other resources, pertaining to air quality, water quality, conservation subdivisions, LEED, and LID.
