The total rebate amounts for residential and commercial/institutional have basically doubled. Project maximums were removed from most of the project types. Project types include tree canopy, conservation landscaping, dry wells, green roofs, permeable pavers, pavement removal, rains gardens, and water harvesting. The cost calculation, with the exception of green roofs, was based on a dollar per gallon treated.
