Low Impact Development (LID) and
Best Management Practice (BMP) Resources
Industrial and commercial businesses can become contributors to stormwater pollution if proper care is not taken to implement Best Management Practices.
View the LID and BMP resources below to see how you can help make a difference.
Low Impact Development (LID) Resources
LID practices can reduce runoff and pollutants entering the storm drain system. The Truckee Meadows Structural Controls Design and Low Impact Development Manual covers relevant LID requirements and design guidance for the Truckee Meadows.
In general, Low Impact Development (LID):
- Is a growing practice in stormwater management with principles modelled after nature
- Strives to mimic the pre-development hydrology
- Manages urban runoff at the source
- Uses local and smaller scale controls as opposed to a more centralized stormwater treatment
- Uses practices and techniques to capture, filter, store, evaporate, detain and infiltrate runoff close to the source
