  • Maintaining, inspecting, and monitoring BMPs is a small but annual cost compared to the large, infrequent costs usually associated with grey infrastructure projects, causing further challenges to Phase II MS4 permittees that may lack manpower in maintenance departments and/or employees dedicated to work on urban stormwater programs.

    “Maintaining, inspecting, and monitoring BMPs is a small but annual cost compared to the large, infrequent costs usually associated with grey infrastructure projects (Vineyard et al. 2015;Chini et al. 2017;Miller and Montalto 2019;William et al. 2020), causing further challenges to Phase II MS4 permittees that may lack manpower”

  • Achieving the benefit of local communities seeing stormwater systems as providing tangible local benefits requires managers to include communities in decision-making processes.

    “Achieving this benefit requires managers to include communities in decision-making processes and can help create resilient and effective programs with local social and ecological co-benefits (BenDor et al. 2018;Hoover and Hopton 2019;Miller and Montalto 2019).”

    The Conclusions (page unavailable) say that designing green infrastructure to provide multiple ecosystem services may increase public support and local value. Refocusing GI Programs (page unavailable) likewise recommends aligning investment with community values. The paper does not say that achieving these benefits requires managers to include communities in decision-making processes. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Including communities in decision-making processes can help create resilient and effective stormwater programs with local social and ecological co-benefits.

    “Achieving this benefit requires managers to include communities in decision-making processes and can help create resilient and effective programs with local social and ecological co-benefits (BenDor et al. 2018;Hoover and Hopton 2019;Miller and Montalto 2019).”

    The Introduction advocates incorporating stakeholder perceptions into ecosystem-service valuation and notes that insufficient community input in designs can undermine support for green infrastructure. Refocusing GI Programs says aligning investments with community values could increase long-term public support. The paper does not establish that including communities in decision-making creates more resilient or effective stormwater programs. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Ensuring public education and outreach materials focus on stakeholder values and preferences will improve local buy-in and create long-term support for urban stormwater planning and management programs.

    “Ensuring public education and outreach materials focus on stakeholder values and preferences will improve local buy-in and create long-term support for urban stormwater planning and management programs (Coleman et al. 2018;Miller and Montalto 2019;McKenzie 2021).”

    From Phase II MS4 challenges: moving toward effective stormwater management for small municipalities (2022) · cites this paper as Miller and Montalto 2019

    In “Beyond Stormwater Management” (page not provided), the paper proposes refocusing GI messaging on locally valued benefits as a way that may increase public support. It also warns that a mismatch between residents’ values and stormwater-focused investments could lead to long-term dissatisfaction. The citing sentence turns those possibilities into a definite claim that education and outreach will improve buy-in and create long-term support, which the paper does not establish. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • Increased urban green space from green stormwater infrastructure corresponds to increases in residents' physical and mental health.

    “Green stormwater infrastructure can address poor air quality, increase urban green space (with corresponding increases in residents' physical and mental health), and potentially decrease crime while addressing some societal inequity (Ashley et al. 2018;Miller and Montalto 2019;William et al. 2020).”

    From Phase II MS4 challenges: moving toward effective stormwater management for small municipalities (2022) · cites this paper as Miller and Montalto 2019

    The Introduction (page unavailable) describes stormwater green infrastructure as including parks, street trees, and community gardens, and says ecosystem services are essential to human health and well-being. It does not establish that increasing urban green space corresponds to increases in residents’ physical and mental health; the study examines stakeholder perceptions rather than health outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
