In 2010, the Transportation & Capital Improvements Department (TCI) sought an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 319 Grant through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to fund the installation of on-site Low Impact Development (LID) storm water pollution reduction measures related to the Mission Drive-In Redevelopment project. As part of the terms of the EPA 319 Grant, this project received 60% Federal Funding ($520,439.00) and a 40% Local Match ($346,959.00).

The Mission Drive-In Redevelopment site is a premier location which demonstrates and showcases the application of Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMPs) and features on-site storm water pollution reduction measures. This project will serve as testing model for LID technology uses in other locations throughout the San Antonio River Watershed. The grant funds also provide[0] for Public Education, Unified Development Code (UDC) Review and Benefit-Cost analysis for LID technology.
