allowed waste-to-energy plants to become highly clean. 3. Explain the important issues and environmental impacts USA is suffering environmental costs by not utilizing the potential of waste to energy plants. The environmental impact is higher greenhouse gas emissions and loss of cheap electricity. 4. Recommended actions.  Create awareness that waste-to-energy plants do not mean the end of recycling  Streamline the process of selecting and building the incinerators  Change public perception by educating them about effective operation of waste to energy plants elsewhere  Government funding 5. Based on your analysis/reflection of the environmental impacts what action(s) you would like to take

detention) are prohibitively expensive. A ‘Green Infrastructure for Clean Water Actof 2010’ bill (S. 3561) was introduced into the U.S. Senate in summer 2010 to provide incentivesfor more communities to adopt such practices. Based on these developments it is evident that 21stcentury stormwater management involves a more holistic, ecological-based approach to designthan civil engineering students have learned in previous decades. This approach integratestraditional civil engineering with environmental science and engineering, landscape architecture,and ecology, making it an exciting challenge for civil & environmental engineering academicsand professionals.An opportunity for campus-based sustainable stormwater retrofitsBecause the majority of
