Conventional stormwater management and low impact development (LID) are discussed. LID aims to reduce impervious surfaces and manage stormwater close to its source. The document advocates an approach called "stormwater urbanism", which recognizes that not all impervious surfaces have equal impacts and that stormwater systems should be designed within the existing land context to provide simple, long-term solutions. Case studies of form-based codes that incorporate these principles are presented.

Not just residential impacts of disconnected, auto-dependent land use patterns

How create well loved areas that for so many reasons SG/NU principles advocateAND support watershed health
Runoff – Rate AND VolumeDoes not account for neighborhood/WATERSHED approach
Runoff – Rate AND VolumeWQZero sum game
Clear difference between TND & CSD
Growth patterns had more impact than BMPs (RI reductions: TSS=85%, TP=30%, TN=30%)
Farr sustainable urbanism SmartCode moduleThink about 2 ways – incentivize? Or ENABLE.
Instead of one-size fits all solutions that mar the landscape – design to context, integrate
Can view 2 ways: 1. compact development is good for watershed, therefore compactness may trump local-specific preservation2. Work around existing nature at neighborhood level even within compact note
Calibration for poor soilsShared solutions & stormwater bank language in ordinance
Same tools, same goals, reinterpret via CODES (impervious-density) and urban context
QUESTION: how do we implement these ideas in NE? What tools/mechanisms? Site by site & one size fits all vs. watershed/neighborhood/codes? Off site & shared solutions?What are YOU doing as a designer, planner, developer, URBANIST to move past LID and towards integration of NU & watershed health
