Green Infrastructure and Stormwater
Green infrastructure and stormwater BMPs help manage runoff volume, peak flow, water quality, erosion, and site resilience.
Common BMPs
- Bioretention, rain gardens, tree wells, and planter areas.
- Permeable pavement, dispersion, and self-retaining areas.
- Detention, retention, infiltration, and media filtration systems.
- Rainwater harvesting and reuse systems.
Planning questions
- What are the runoff, treatment, detention, and retention requirements?
- Are soils and groundwater suitable for infiltration?
- How will overflow, drawdown, maintenance, and vector control be managed?
