Low Impact Development Guide to Residential and Small Sites

Low Impact Development (LID) Structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) manage stormwater runoff at it’s source. These practices infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate and detain runoff to minimize environmental impact and pollution.

The practices in this guide are intended to be applied to residential and small commercial sites. Because LID BMPs use a variety of techniques for controlling runoff, designs can be customized to site needs and constraints.
