Line 1: − <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. − [http://mediawiki.trca.info/index.php/Preface: Preface]+ − − − − 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.
