2.  Describe the components and various forms of infiltration based techniques
3.  Complete a comprehensive site evaluation and conduct field reconnaissance
4.  Select suitable LID infiltration practices to satisfy targets and criteria and determine appropriate placement within a project site
5.  Develop detailed design drawings to ensure infiltration practices are constructed properly
6.  Discuss the financial considerations for the operation and maintenance of LID practices
