The following topics have been identified from the ASLA Technical Workshop: LARE Prep Section 4 documentation[1]. Many of them are highly pertinent to Low Impact Development strategies and philosophy:

  • Plans
  • Slope calculations
  • Contours: Rules and considerations
  • Basic surveying
  • Soil basics
  • Grading a roadway
  • Flow calculations
  • Standards for accessible design

Low impact development is a stormwater management and land development strategy applied at the parcel and subdivision scale that emphasizes conservation and use of on-site natural features integrated with engineered, small scale hydrologic controls to more closely mimic pre-development hydrologic functions.

A stormwater management strategy that seeks to mitigate the impacts of increased urban runoff and stormwater pollution by managing it as close to its source as possible. It comprises a set of site design approaches and small scale stormwater management practices that promote the use of natural systems for infiltration and evapotranspiration, and rainwater harvesting.
