A number of factors need to be considered when screening the suitability of a given location within a development site for application of stormwater BMPs. [[LID Site Criteria and Constraints]] summarizes site constraints associated with some general types of structural LID practices for stormwater management that should be considered. Further information regarding constraints to the design of various end-of-pipe BMPs can be found in the Ontario Ministry of the Environment Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual (2003). The use of LID BMPs should be considered first to meet the design criteria before the use of end-of-pipe BMPs. Other considerations for screening potential LID options is detailed below.

If working in a retrofit scenarios, land use type in particular will have various constraints to work with. Road ROWs, industrial, commercial, institutional, residential, and park lands all have unique site constraints and corresponding LID opportunities. To help understand these unique land type constraint and potential LID options, see

Resources on LID performance studies are widely available. Performance of LID within Ontario can be found on [http://www.sustainabletechnologies.ca/wp/home/urban-runoff-green-infrastructure/low-impact-development/ the Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program] and [http://www.creditvalleyca.ca/low-impact-development/lid-maintenance-monitoring/lid-monitoring-sites/ Credit Valley Conservation's LID Monitoring program]. To garner a global perspective of LID performance across various geographical regions, check out the [http://www.bmpdatabase.org/index.htm International Stormwater BMP Database], performance data can be downloaded and statistical analysis tools are provided.
