NOTES:1. Cost projections do not include costs for project planning, design, permitting, maintenance, and land acquisition (if any). Projections are based on 1990 dollars.2. The total number of restoration projects in this category may increase as further field surveys are performed. 3. Does not include wetland acreage created by stormwater retrofits projects, which is significant.
