Basis: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mattawoman Creek Watershed Management Plan; Port Tobacco River Watershed Restoration Action Plan; and Maryland Stormwater Management Act of 2007
4 Final Products Stormwater Management Ordinance Drainage Ordinance Stormwater Management Polices and Procedures Manual LID /ESD Supplement to Design Manual
5 Timeline Public Kick-off Meeting (January 2009) Focus Groups to Review Discuss Draft (April/May 2009) Informational Notices (June/July 2009) Briefings to Planning Commission and County Commissioners (July/August/September 2009) Submittal to Maryland Department of the Environment for their review (TBD) Public Adoption Process (public meetings and work sessions) Engineer/Inspector Training (at completion)
6 LID Defined What is LID / ESD? A stormwater management strategy to maintain or restore the natural hydrologic functions of a site to achieve natural resources protection objectives and fulfill environmental regulatory requirements LID employs a variety of natural and built features that reduce the rate of runoff, filter out pollutants, and facilitates the infiltration of water into the ground. LID incorporates a set of overall site design strategies as well as highly localized, small-scale scale decentralized source control techniques known as Integrated Management Practices (IMPs( IMPs) IMPs may be integrated into buildings, infrastructure, or landscape features.
7 Bottom Line LID and ESD now have pretty much the same meaning in MD The two terms will be used interchangeably in the rest of the presentation
8 MD SWM Act 2007 Why Adopt LID / ESD? Prevent soil erosion from development projects. Prevent increases in nonpoint pollution. Minimize pollutants in stormwater runoff from both new development and redevelopment. Restore, enhance, and maintain chemical, physical, and biological l integrity of receiving waters to protect public health and enhance domestic, municipal, recreational, industrial and other uses of water as specified s by MDE. Maintain 100% of the average annual predevelopment groundwater recharge volume. Capture and treat stormwater runoff to remove pollutants. Implement a channel protection strategy to protect receiving streams. Prevent increases in the frequency and magnitude of out-of of-bank flooding from large, less frequent storms. Protect public safety through the proper design and operation of stormwater management facilities.
9 MDE ESD Planning Process Delegated stormwater authorities will be required to use a 3 phase process 1. Concept 2. Site Development Plan 3. Final Must be a coordinated local agency effort & include SCD Planning and zoning Public Works All new developments shall be subject to the design Process for New Developments as outlined in Figure 5.1
10 Figure 5.1
11 Concept Design Phase: Site & Resources Mapping
12 Concept Design Phase: Site & Resources Mapping Site concept plan should identify and avoid impact to existing site environmental resources
13 Cul-de de-sacs Table 5.2 Better Site Design Technique Using narrower, shorter streets, ROW, sidewalks Open vegetated channels Concept Design Phase: Site Development Strategies Summary of Site Development Strategies Recommendations Street width =22 ft in low traffic volumes Open space design & clustering reduce street length ROW reduced with narrow sidewalks, sidewalks on one side only, reduce border between street & sidewalk Small radii 33 ft Landscape treatment BMP in center (Bioretention) Grass channels, biofilters for SWM Parking ratios, codes, lots Structured parking Parking lot runoff Open space Max parking ratios vs minimum; shared parking; Stall width & length; parking garages Parking lots required to be landscaped & setbacks relaxed to allow for bioretention islands & other SWM practices Flexible design criteria to enable use of clustered developments and conservation design
14 Table 5.2 Better Site Design Technique Setbacks & frontages Concept Design Phase: Site Development Strategies Summary of Site Development Strategies Recommendations Relax setbacks & allow narrower frontages to reduce total road & driveway length; Driveways Rooftop runoff Buffer systems Clearing & grading Tree conservation Conservation incentives Allow shared driveways & permeable pavements Direct to pervious surfaces, harvest & reuse Designate minimum buffer width & provide mechanism for long term protection Use site fingerprinting to reduce clearing, grading & earth disturbance Provide long-term protection of large tracts of contiguous forested areas; promote use of native plantings Provide incentives for conservation of natural areas through density compensation, property tax reduction, and flexibility in design process
15 Minimization of Development Impacts: Site fingerprinting Large lots Reduced clearing & grading costs Preserves natural soils & vegetation Vegetative buffer
16 Design Objectives The criteria for sizing ESD practices are based on capturing and retaining enough rainfall so that the runoff leaving a site is reduced to a level equivalent to a wooded site in good condition as determined using United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) methods (e.g., TR-55). The basic principle is that a reduced runoff curve number (RCN) may be applied to post-development conditions when ESD practices are used. The goal is to provide enough treatment using ESD practices to address channel protection (Cpv) requirements by replicating an RCN for woods in good condition for the 1-year rainfall event. This eliminates the need for structural practices (MDE, Chapter 3). If the design rainfall captured and treated using ESD is short of the target rainfall, a reduced RCN may be applied to post-development conditions when addressing stormwater management requirements. The reduced RCN is calculated by subtracting the runoff treated by ESD practices from the total 1-year 24-hour design storm runoff.
17 ESD Practices Group 1: Alternative Surfaces A-1 Green Roofs A-2 Permeable Pavements Group 2: Nonstructural Practices N-1 Disconnection of rooftop runoff N-2 Disconnection of non-rooftop runoff N-3 Sheetflow to conservation area Group 3: Micro-scale Practices to Treat Runoff M-1 Rainwater Harvesting M-2 Submerged Gravel wetlands M-3 Landscape Infiltration M-4 Infiltration Berms M-5 Dry wells M-6 Micro-bioretention M-7 Rain gardens M-8 Swales M-9 Enhanced Filters
18 A-1 1 Green Roofs Also known as vegetated roofs, roof gardens, or eco-roofs. May be used in place of traditional flat or pitched roofs to reduce impervious cover and more closely mimic natural hydrology. Green roofs produce less heat than conventional systems. Therefore, they may be used to help mitigate stormwater impacts and temperature increases caused by new development. There are two basic green roof designs that are distinguished by media thickness and the plant varieties that are used: Extensive Intensive
19 Extensive Green Roofs Extensive green roofs more common lightweight system media layer is 2-6 inches thick. limits plants to low-growing, hardy herbaceous varieties may be constructed off-site as a modular system with drainage layers, growing media, and plants installed in interlocking grids. Conventional construction methods may also be used to install each component separately Hamilton Apartments Ecoroof first large scale stormwater monitoring and education site in USA

32 Group 2: Nonstructural Practices N-1. Disconnection of Rooftop Runoff N-2. Disconnection of Non-Rooftop Runoff N-3. Sheetflow to Conservation Areas
33 Group 2: Nonstructural Practices Disconnecting impervious cover and treating urban runoff closer to its source are the next steps in the design process for implementing ESD. Using nonstructural techniques (e.g., disconnection of rooftop runoff, sheetflow to conservation areas) and micro-scale practices (e.g., rain gardens, bio-swales) throughout a development is an effective way to accomplish this goal. Nonstructural practices may be used to disconnect impervious cover and direct runoff over vegetated areas to promote overland filtering and infiltration. Whether runoff is directed over permeable areas or captured in small water quality treatment practices, there are reductions in both volume and pollutants delivered to receiving streams. These practices may be used to address the ESD design criteria
34 Group 2: Nonstructural Practices Nonstructural and micro-scale practices are an integral part of the ESD stormwater management plans. The use of these practices must be documented at the concept, site development, and final design stages and verified with as-built certification. If practices are not implemented as planned, then volumes used to design structural practices must be increased appropriately to meet the ESD sizing criteria.
35 N-1: Disconnection of rooftop runoff Rooftop disconnection involves directing flow from downspouts onto vegetated areas where it can soak into or filter over the ground. This disconnects the rooftop from the storm drain system and reduces both runoff volume and pollutants delivered to receiving waters. To function well, rooftop disconnection is dependent on several site conditions (e.g., flow path length, soils, slopes). Disconnected downspout Connected downspout

50 M-1: Rainwater Harvesting: Cost Rainbarrels Do-it it-yourself rain barrels can be constructed for under $30. Ready-made 55 gallon to 90 gallon rain barrels generally cost from $50 to $300 uninstalled. Cisterns Costs for a cistern, not including installation, range from about t $250 for a 200-gallon cistern to $5,000 for a 10,000-gallon cistern.
51 M-2: Submerged gravel wetlands A submerged gravel wetland is a small-scale scale filter using wetland plants in a rock media to provide water quality treatment. Runoff drains into the lowest elevation of the wetland, is distributed throughout the system, and discharges at the surface. Pollutant removal is achieved in a submerged gravel wetland through biological uptake from algae and bacteria growing within the filter media. Wetland plants provide additional nutrient uptake and physical and chemical treatment processes allow filtering and absorption of organic matter.

62 M-4: Infiltration Berms A mound of earth composed of soil and stone that is placed along the contour of a relatively gentle slope. This practice may be constructed by excavating upslope material to create a depression and storage area above a berm or earth dike. Stormwater runoff flowing downslope to the depressed area filters through the berm in order to maintain sheetflow. Infiltration berms should be used in conjunction with practices that require sheetflow (e.g., sheetflow to buffers) or in a series on steeper slopes to prevent flow concentration.
