A key document, developed and maintained by the state, provides guidance on the design, implementation, and maintenance of practices aimed at controlling and mitigating the impact of precipitation runoff. It serves as a comprehensive resource for engineers, developers, municipalities, and other stakeholders involved in land development and infrastructure projects within the state. These projects, if not handled properly, have the potential to impact water quality and contribute to flooding.
This resource is vital for protecting waterways, reducing flood risks, and promoting sustainable development. Its application ensures that projects are designed and constructed in a manner that minimizes environmental impact. The manual outlines best management practices (BMPs) for various scenarios, including residential, commercial, and industrial development. Furthermore, the document reflects evolving understanding of hydrological processes and is periodically updated to incorporate new technologies and regulatory requirements.
