If you look at watershed management plans, I would bet that there are many projects ready to be implemented.

All: Stimulus projects have to be ready-to-go. That means, already planned and ready for construction within 180 days or so. Does this meet that test?

In light of the active discussions regarding the potential for economic stimulus packages that include infrastructure projects, a water resource project like redesign of the storm sewer systems in the Great Lakes watershed makes a lot of sense. This could include native plant wetland filter systems at point source outfalls into the lakes including storm sewers and ravines.
