ABSTRACT
Stormwater management increasingly includes a consideration of site design and layout, and the constructability and maintainability of the structures. The comprehensive treatment-train concept implies that the first line of defense against flooding and water pollution is a site design concept that incorporates features that intrinsically reduce pollution and flood generation. But, these features must be able to be built in the real world. Complex lot-by-lot grading, microfeatures, etc., require significantly more oversight by the local government than standard practice. And the planning and design of sites to incorporate these features require a higher level of skill and staff involvement than has heretofore been available in many cities.
