Complete definition of pre-development site conditions is essential prior to screening of potential stormwater BMPs. The designer should prepare maps describing site conditions to ensure that all environmental features and functions that need consideration in accordance with provincial, municipal and conservation authority development regulations are identified. This includes watercourses and small drainage features, floodplains, important recharge areas, steep slopes, wetlands, natural heritage conservation areas and significant wildlife habitats. In addition, information regarding native soil types, infiltration capacity and depth to water table must be determined.

In retrofit scenarios, site conditions will vary and can be explicit with land use type such as road right of ways, parks, residential, industrial, commercial and/or institutional should be noted.
