Unit 9. Watershed Management Visual 9.12 In this Unit Activity 450 (Stormwater Management) Unit Objectives Understand why the CRS provides credit for stormwater management activities and be familiar with the techniques that are creditable. Understand the credit criteria and points available. Be familiar with the documentation requirements and know which community departments should be involved in this activity. Visual 9.13 3
Why credit stormwater management? Watershed development typically increased impervious area and generates more runoff More runoff means more frequent floods and higher flood heights Watershed development increases erosion and sedimentation, and more impervious areas impact water quality Visual 9.14 Visual 9.15 4
Visual 9.16 Visual 9.17 5
Visual 9.18 Objective Prevent future development from increasing flood hazards, maintain and improve water quality, and preserve natural functions See Coordinator s Manual, page 450-2 Visual 9.19 6
Detention Detain runoff and release it slowly. Retention Retain runoff and allow it to infiltrate into the ground. Detention and Retention provide water quantity and water quality management. Visual 9.20 Dry Detention Visual 9.21 7

Yes b. No c. I don t know d. My community does not currently participate in the CRS program 27
Stormwater Management Regulations Size of Development Credit is calculated based on the types of developments regulated by your stormwater requirements Louisville requires reviews all projects that have more than 2,000 sq ft of disturbance Stormwater Management Regulations Design Storms Credit given for design storms required for detention analyses Additional credit for volume control Louisville s Requirements: Design storms are 2, 10, 25, and 100 yr storms Volume control is not required due to poor soil conditions in many areas 28
Stormwater Management Regulations Low-Impact Development Credit provided if the community requires the implementation of LID techniques to the maximum extent feasible to control peak runoff Not creditable for Louisville s program because LID is encouraged, but not required Incentive program to encourage property owners to construct green infrastructure projects Stormwater Management Regulations Public Maintenance Credit for requiring inspection and maintenance of stormwater management facilities Louisville requires that new detention basins be located in drainage easements or open space Detention Credit available on stormwater bill for property owners maintaining detention basins (up to 50% off drainage service charge) 29
