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);

• Headwater Assessment Guidelines (an appendix to the CRWMG).

Getting started[edit]

Low impact development is a stormwater management and land development strategy applied at the parcel and subdivision scale that emphasizes conservation and use of on-site natural features integrated with engineered, small scale hydrologic controls to more closely mimic pre-development hydrologic functions.

A stormwater management strategy that seeks to mitigate the impacts of increased urban runoff and stormwater pollution by managing it as close to its source as possible. It comprises a set of site design approaches and small scale stormwater management practices that promote the use of natural systems for infiltration and evapotranspiration, and rainwater harvesting.
