Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual

The intent of the Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Manual is to provide guidance on BMP selection, design, and implementation to plan submitters, reviewers, construction site operators, and site inspectors.

There are also guidance materials for activities at commercial and industrial facilities. The ultimate goal of this manual and program is clean water and reduction of pollutants associated with urban activities.
