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.

Part 1 of the document provides guidance on designing an effective LID BMP inspection and maintenance program, based on experiences and advice from leading jurisdictions in the United States, adapted to an Ontario context. Part 2 of the document establishes standard cold climate protocols for inspection, testing and maintenance of seven types of structural LID BMPs.
