Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts: Low-Impact Development

"Using low-impact development (LID) approaches for new development can help to achieve storm water pollution reduction goals. Through LID approaches, storm water runoff can be controlled while development objectives are achieved.

"An important component of a municipal LID program is public outreach. The first step in achieving LID is to encourage developers to adopt such approaches. This is followed by the development and implementation of a program to ensure that design standards are met and that homeowners are adequately informed of their responsibilities. The latter should be the responsibility of the developer and homebuilder. This outreach takes the form of the developer's communicating maintenance instructions and pollution prevention measures to the property owners. The public outreach program informs property owners of their responsibilities to the environment." [from Factsheet Description]
