Full Work Author: Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission
Abstract: These alternative development techniques, commonly called best management practices, involve measures which accomplish two basic objectives: reduce the amount of impervious surface area, thereby reducing runoff and utilize the landscape to naturally filter and infiltrate runoff before it leaves the development site. In some instances the alternative approaches, such as landscaping with native vegetation, emulate conditions prior to the arrival of European settlers. Also recommended are innovative planning approaches, such as cluster developments, which have not been widely implemented in this region.

Section Author: N.C. Cooperative Extension Service
Abstract: Stormwater wetlands are becoming a standard best management practice in treating stormwater runoff from urban areas. When designed and installed properly, stormwater wetlands are effective at removing pollutants, providing habitat and serving as educational and recreational amenities. They can also be safe and unobtrusive if carefully designed. Several practices and structural technologies are addressed in this fact sheet, covering their advantages, disadvantages and pollutant removal capabilities.

Abstract: This report addresses a study on the proper design of stormwater infiltration ponds on the coastal areas and Outer Banks of North Carolina. To a point, properly designed stormwater infiltration ponds on the North Carolina barrier islands will effectively retain stormwater runoff. Two infiltration ponds were analyzed in this extended field study and much research was done on hypothetical ponds using a long-term simulation. The effects of infiltration ponds on the water quality of the groundwater were not considered and should be the topic of future research.

Full Work Author: Malcom, H. Rooney; et al
Abstract: This project examined current practices in stormwater management and provided recommendations for improvement, particularly in the areas of institutional arrangements and technical support. The general objective of this research was to establish and initiate use of state and local guidelines for management of urban drainage and flooding, sedimentation, stormwater-related land use, and the quality of urban runoff in the United States. These guidelines should provide local governments with the tools to interrelate and take full advantage of the many ongoing programs in the area of urban watershed management.

Length: 116 pages
Date: February 1998
Full Work Author: NC DENR
Section Author: NC Division of Water Quality
Abstract: The N.C. Division of Water Quality prepared this guidance document to promote and encourage the use of preventive, source reduction and control practices throughout the site planning process in the design of stormwater runoff management systems. This document provides non-technical methods of considering the sources and effects of stormwater runoff as early in the site planning process as possible and to consider stormwater as a part of the site plan through all steps of the development process. When allowances for stormwater are made early in the site planning process, they can be integrated more thoroughly and thoughtfully into the design.

Full Title: U.S. EPA NPDES Stormwater Program: Stormwater Phase II Final Rule Fact Sheet Series
URL: http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/swfinal.cfm
Full Work Author: U.S. EPA
Abstract: Phase I of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) storm water program was promulgated in 1990 under the CWA. Phase I relies on National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit coverage to address stormwater runoff. The Stormwater Phase II Final Rule is the next step in EPA’s effort to preserve, protect and improve the nation’s water resources from polluted stormwater runoff. The Phase II program expands the Phase I program by requiring additional operators in urbanized areas and operators of small construction sites, through the use of NPDES permits, to implement programs and practices to control polluted stormwater runoff. This Web site provides fact sheets and other publications that address the aspects and requirements of federal stormwater regulations under Phase II.
Full Title: U.S. EPA Storm Water Program
URL: http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/home.cfm?program_id=6
Full Work Author: U.S. EPA
Abstract: Stormwater discharges are generated by runoff from land and impervious areas such as paved streets, parking lots and building rooftops during rainfall and snow events that often contain pollutants in quantities that could adversely affect water quality. Most stormwater discharges are considered point sources and require coverage by an NPDES permit. The primary method to control stormwater discharges is through the use of best management practices. This Web site contains technical and regulatory information about the NPDES stormwater program.
