In general, resource management plans can cover a wide variety of plan and resource types, including human resources, land use, and others. Local government plans that pertain to infrastructure can include:

• Liquid Waste management plan
• Solid Waste management plan
• Community energy plan
• Drinking Water management plan

In addition to energy and drinking water, solid waste and wastewater can all be viewed as resources. Plans, such as those listed above, can therefore all be approached from a resource management perspective.

Integrated Resource Recovery (IRR) [1] is an approach that can complement, and potentially even transform, traditional planning and design of infrastructure, and has the potential to result in reduced emissions and local government operation costs, as well as other benefits.

Complimentary Measures include:

• Green Infrastructure Policy [2]
