===Avoid development on permeable soils===

Highly permeable soils (i.e., hydrologic soil groups A and B) function as important groundwater recharge areas.  Compacting or paving over these areas will have significant hydrologic impacts. To the greatest extent possible, these areas should be preserved in an undisturbed condition or set aside for stormwater infiltration practices.  On sites with a variety of soil types, impervious land cover should be concentrated in areas with the least permeable soils and underlying geology.  Where avoiding development on permeable soils is not possible, stormwater management should focus on mitigation of reduced groundwater recharge through application of stormwater infiltration practices.
