PR-8: Low Impact Development
Goal
Use low-impact development (LID) stormwater management solutions where appropriate to better mimic pre-development hydrological conditions.
Requirements
Determine the feasibility of LID best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater management in the right-of-way (ROW). Complete a basic LID hydrologic evaluation according to the steps outlined in Chapter 3, “LID Hydrologic Analysis,” of the 1999 Low-Impact Development Design Strategies: An Integrated Approach (“LID Manual”) by the Prince George’s County, Maryland, Department of Environmental Resources, Programs and Planning Division (PGC). This guideline is available here: http://www.lowimpactdevelopment.org/pubs/LID_Hydrology_National_Manual.pdf
Documentation
Copy of the completed LID hydrologic evaluation. Scopes of standard drainage or geotechnical reports may already meet these evaluation requirements or need only minor changes to include LID. A separate document is NOT required in this case.
