Stormwater Management

Abstract: A tool created to assist developers, engineers, municipal officials, conservation district
personnel and others involved with the planning, design, review and approval or building development projects. Thirty-seven practices are described in the handbook including smaller, less obtrusive practices that can be used alone or in combination with larger conventional structural practices. While the handbook is not intended to be a comprehensive site planning and practice design manual, it can be used to develop site plans that meet the Pennsylvania requirements for erosion and sediment control and address local storm water control regulations.

A Stormwater Design Manual Toolbox

The Manual Builder provides a toolbox for developing a stormwater treatment practice (STP) design manual. It includes STP design and construction criteria and provides schematics and graphics for each practice. It also provides information about maintenance requirements and the typical local review process for STP design and construction. Each manual needs to be customized to meet the needs of the community where it is being applied.
