The '''Municipal Consolidated Linear Infrastructure Environmental Compliance Approval (CLI-ECA)''' is a streamlined approval process for municipalities managing stormwater and Low Impact Development (LID) infrastructure. This guide offers step-by-step instructions to ensure compliance with CLI-ECA requirements.
