CVC, back in 2014 developed a document aimed at contractors, whose clients (municipalities) are facing many stormwater challenges, including aging and deficient infrastructure, frequent extreme weather, flash flooding, and degrading water quality. Municipalities are relying on stormwater management ponds for flood control and water quality treatment, but they are consistently looking at Low Impact Development (LID) as a way to shore up their stormwater management strategy. This document and CVC’s, [https://cvc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/CVC-LID-Construction-Guide-Book.pdf LID Construction Guide] are a great way for contractors to understand what Municipalities are looking for who want to implement well designed and well-performing LID installations.

CVC, back in 2014 developed another document aimed at designers, consulting engineers, municipalities, landowners and inspectors. This document and CVC’s, [https://cvc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/CVC-LID-Construction-Guide-Book.pdf LID Construction Guide] will allow you to be able to:
*Minimize challenges/issues during the plan review and permitting process
*Minimize additional site visits to review and correct deficiencies
*Minimize costly and time consuming repairs
*Minimize unnecessary maintenance over the long term
*Minimize complaints from the public
When this case study document is used with the above Contractors document, the Wiki and former SWM guidance documents, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of how to ensure an LID project is successful through design, tender, construction, and commissioning.
