+= Preface =
+This document – the Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Planning
+and Design Guide – has been developed by Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) and
+Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) as a tool to help developers,
+consultants, municipalities and landowners understand and implement sustainable
+stormwater planning and practices in the CVC and TRCA watersheds. The use of
+sustainable stormwater planning and practices will help ensure the continued health
+of the streams, rivers, lakes, fisheries and terrestrial habitats in our watersheds.
−The guide is intended to provide engineers, ecologists and planners with up-to-date
−information and direction on landscape-based stormwater management planning and
−low impact development stormwater management practices such as rainwater
−harvesting, green roofs, bioretention, permeable pavement, soakaways and swales.
−The information contained in the guide will help practitioners adopt landscape-based
+stormwater management approaches, and will help select, design, construct and
+monitor more sustainable stormwater management practices.
+This manual is not a stand-alone document. It is intended to augment the Ontario
+Ministry of the Environment’s 2003 Stormwater Management Planning and Design
+Manual, which provides design criteria for “conventional” end-of-pipe stormwater
+management practices such as wet ponds and constructed wetlands. It is also a
+companion document to other stormwater related guidance documents prepared by
+CVC and TRCA. Amongst others, these include:
+'''CVC'''
+• Credit River Water Management Guidelines (CRWMG) (2007);
+• Credit River Stormwater Management Criteria (currently under development;
+will be an appendix to the CRWMG;
+• Geomorphic and Meander Belt Guidelines (an appendix to the CRWMG);
+• Floodline Mapping Guidelines (an appendix to the CRWMG);
+• Environmental Impact Report Terms of Reference (an appendix to the
+CRWMG);
+• Technical Guidelines for Floodproofing, 1994 (an appendix to the CRWMG);
+• Hydrologic/Hydraulic Modeling (an appendix to the CRWMG Guidelines);
+• Guidelines for Hydrogeologic Studies (an appendix to the CRWMG);
+• Headwater Assessment Guidelines (an appendix to the CRWMG).
+'''TRCA'''
+• Planning and Development Procedural Manual (2007);
+• Stormwater Management Criteria (currently under development);
+• Floodplain Management Guideline; and
+• Stream Crossing Guidelines.
