In anticipation we have prepared a short printable form to help direct your critique of the wiki.
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
{{Clickable button|[[Media:Comments.pdf|Download pdf feedback form]]}}
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
