Line 1: <strong>Welcome to the Low Impact Development Planning and Design Guide.</strong>
This document – the Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Planningand Design Guide – has been developed by Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) andToronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) as a tool to help developers,consultants, municipalities and landowners understand and implement sustainablestormwater planning and practices in the CVC and TRCA watersheds. The use ofsustainable stormwater planning and practices will help ensure the continued healthof the streams, rivers, lakes, fisheries and terrestrial habitats in our watersheds.The guide is intended to provide engineers, ecologists and planners with up-to-dateinformation and direction on landscape-based stormwater management planning andlow impact development stormwater management practices such as rainwaterharvesting, green roofs, bioretention, permeable pavement, soakaways and swales.The information contained in the guide will help practitioners adopt landscape-basedstormwater management approaches, and will help select, design, construct andmonitor 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 OntarioMinistry of the Environment’s 2003 Stormwater Management Planning and DesignManual, which provides design criteria for “conventional” end-of-pipe stormwatermanagement practices such as wet ponds and constructed wetlands. It is also acompanion document to other stormwater related guidance documents prepared byCVC 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 theCRWMG); • 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.
