  2. LID -Definition • One of LID's primary goals is to reduce runoff volume by infiltrating rainfall water to groundwater, evaporating rainwater back to the g p g atmosphere after a storm and finding beneficial uses for water rather than exporting it as a waste product down storm sewers. The result is a landscape functionally equivalent to predevelopment hydrologic conditions which means less surface runoff and less pollution damage conditions, which means less surface runoff and less pollution damage to lakes, streams and coastal waters. • Source: Natural Resource Defense Council 2

  3. Storm Water- Clarifier • One form of clarifying water before it goes into the storm system is using a Storm Vault. y g • The water flows through the vault using baffles and pillows to capture the oils and particles. • Benefits – They are underground and do not take up any room. • Detriments – Th They are very costly. tl – Not many to choose from. – There is a maintenance cost for the lifetime of the unit. 3

  4. Storm Water -Swales • An acceptable option is a grassy swale • Water will flow from an impervious surface to Water will flow from an impervious surface to a curb then through a grassy swale to the drain area. • This is accepted at most jurisdictions. • Benefits – Much cheaper than a storm vault. – C Can be incorporated in green landscaped areas b i t d i l d d • Detriments – They will take up more land area. – May take more irrigation to keep green. y g p g 4
