The Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Planning and Design Guide
*[[Definition of Low Impact Development|What is low impact development?]]
(LID SWM Guide) has been developed by Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) and
*[[Photographs]]
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) as a tool to help developers,
*[[Wander_lonely_as_a_cloud|Browse random pages!]]
consultants, municipalities and landowners understand and implement more sustainable
*[[Acknowledgements]]
stormwater management planning and design practices in their watersheds. Many
*[[Updates|Subscribe to updates]]
jurisdictions have defined the term low impact development. For this document, the
*[[How to contribute| email us]]
following definition, adapted from the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S. EPA, 2007) will be used:


{{TextBox|1=Low impact development (LID) is a stormwater management strategy that seeks to mitigate the impacts of increased runoff and stormwater pollution by managing runoff as close to its source as possible. LID comprises a set of site design strategies that minimize runoff and distributed, small scale structural practices that mimic natural or predevelopment hydrology through the processes of infiltration, evapotranspiration, harvesting, filtration and detention of stormwater. These practices can effectively remove nutrients, pathogens and metals from runoff, and they reduce the volume and intensity of stormwater flows.}}


The LID SWM Guide provides information and direction to assist engineers, ecologists
</div>
and planners with landscape-based stormwater management planning and the
|}
selection, design, construction and monitoring of sustainable stormwater management
practices. The focus of this guide is on guidance regarding the planning and design of
structural low impact development practices for stormwater management.
 
The practice of managing stormwater is continuing to evolve as the science of
watershed management and understanding of our watersheds grow. Effective
management of stormwater is critical to the continued health of our streams, rivers,
lakes, fisheries and terrestrial habitats. CVC and TRCA believe that an improved
understanding of the municipal and environmental planning process and the
requirements for stormwater management will lead to improvements in management
practices and an increasingly standardized and streamlined approach to addressing
stormwater throughout the CVC and TRCA watersheds.
 
The LID SWM Guide is intended to augment the Ontario Ministry of the Environment
(OMOE) Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual (2003). The OMOE
manual provides design criteria for “conventional” end-of-pipe stormwater management
practices such as wet ponds and constructed wetlands but provides only limited
information about lot level and conveyance controls. The OMOE manual does, however,
emphasize the use of a “treatment train” approach to reduce the impacts of stormwater runoff. A treatment train approach – a combination of lot level, conveyance, and end-ofpipe
stormwater management practices – is usually required to meet the multiple
objectives of stormwater management, which include maintaining the hydrologic cycle,
protecting water quality, and preventing increased erosion and flooding.
 
This LID SWM Guide focuses on a number of lot level and conveyance stormwater
management practices that have been used extensively in Europe, the United States,
British Columbia and at demonstration sites in Ontario. These practices have only
recently been considered for broad application in Ontario as part of the treatment train
approach. These low impact development practices include green roofs, bioretention,
permeable pavement, soakaways, perforated pipe systems, enhanced grass swales,
dry swales and rainwater harvesting. The LID SWM Guide recommends and supports
the use of the treatment train approach for stormwater management. Accordingly, the
reader is urged to refer to the OMOE manual (OMOE, 2003), as a guide for
incorporating more traditional practices such as wet ponds and wetlands into the overall
stormwater management planning and design process.
 
The LID SWM Guide is not intended to limit innovation or restrict the use of creative
solutions for stormwater management. Indeed, the OMOE, CVC, TRCA and partner
municipalities encourage the development of innovative designs and technologies.

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:
