BMP Manual - Chapter 7

BMP Manual - Chapter 7

SUMMARY: The non-structural and structural BMPs described in the preceding Chapters provide measures that mitigate the additional volume, pollutant load and increased rate of runoff produced by land development. Some land surfaces, however, will not be compatible with the application of certain BMPs. Successful compliance with the Control Guidelines described in Chapter 3 should still be possible for most new land development sites, but the range of measures available may be limited. In fact, some types of BMPs may be totally unsuitable for consideration in these special land areas and should be excluded from application.
