−<strong>Welcome to the Low Impact Development Planning and Design Guide.</strong>+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).
