What is Low Impact Development?
A comprehensive, landscape-based approach to sustainable developmentA management strategy to maintain pre-development natural systems, hydrology and ecologyA cost-effective, flexible approach based on a set of simple techniquesA collection of practices that have been implemented nationwide

What is Low Impact Development?NOT rocket scienceNOT formulaicNOT the answer to every storm water challengeNOT yet finished evolvingNOT very common in Utah
![Page 4: Implementing Low Impact Development in Utah - An Engineer’s Perspective PRESENTED BY: CRAIG BAGLEY, P.E., CFM BOWEN, COLLINS & ASSOCIATES.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649dc65503460f94aba452/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Typical pre-development conditions: Runoff = 10% Infiltration = 50%
![Page 5: Implementing Low Impact Development in Utah - An Engineer’s Perspective PRESENTED BY: CRAIG BAGLEY, P.E., CFM BOWEN, COLLINS & ASSOCIATES.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649dc65503460f94aba452/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Typical post-development conditions:
Runoff = 55% Infiltration = 15%
![Page 6: Implementing Low Impact Development in Utah - An Engineer’s Perspective PRESENTED BY: CRAIG BAGLEY, P.E., CFM BOWEN, COLLINS & ASSOCIATES.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649dc65503460f94aba452/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
LID PrinciplesWork with the landscape and natural systemsFocus on prevention (flood, erosion, pollution, etc.)Micromanage stormwater – treat near sourceKeep it simpleDesign multi-functional features (filter, treat, infiltrate)Maintain and sustain
![Page 7: Implementing Low Impact Development in Utah - An Engineer’s Perspective PRESENTED BY: CRAIG BAGLEY, P.E., CFM BOWEN, COLLINS & ASSOCIATES.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649dc65503460f94aba452/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. Use existing natural systems as the integrating framework for site
planning•Land use planning and watershed planning
•Identify environmentally sensitive resources: wetlands, mature trees, slopes, drainageways, permeable soils, waterway buffers
•Mimic pre-development hydrology
![Page 8: Implementing Low Impact Development in Utah - An Engineer’s Perspective PRESENTED BY: CRAIG BAGLEY, P.E., CFM BOWEN, COLLINS & ASSOCIATES.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649dc65503460f94aba452/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2. Focus on prevention
•Minimize clearing and grading
•Cluster buildings and reduce building footprints
•Reduce road widths, use shared driveways, reduce parking area
•Align roads to minimize impact
•Use green rooftops
•Use permeable paving
![Page 9: Implementing Low Impact Development in Utah - An Engineer’s Perspective PRESENTED BY: CRAIG BAGLEY, P.E., CFM BOWEN, COLLINS & ASSOCIATES.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649dc65503460f94aba452/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
•Create subwatersheds and “micromanage” runoff in a treatment train of small structures
•Flatten slopes, lengthen flow paths, maximize sheet flow
•Maintain natural flow paths, use open drainage
•Use LID techniques to manage frequent, low-intensity storms
3. Treat stormwater close to the source
![Page 10: Implementing Low Impact Development in Utah - An Engineer’s Perspective PRESENTED BY: CRAIG BAGLEY, P.E., CFM BOWEN, COLLINS & ASSOCIATES.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649dc65503460f94aba452/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
•Open drainage systems and filter strips
•Disconnection of roof runoff
•Rain barrels
•Street sweeping
•Reduce construction disturbance
4. Emphasize simple, nonstructural, low-tech, low-cost methods
![Page 11: Implementing Low Impact Development in Utah - An Engineer’s Perspective PRESENTED BY: CRAIG BAGLEY, P.E., CFM BOWEN, COLLINS & ASSOCIATES.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649dc65503460f94aba452/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
•Use stormwater management components that provide filtration, treatment, and infiltration.
•Provide open space and wildlife habitat.
•Store water for landscape use
•Reduce heat island effect
•Enhance site aesthetics
5. Create a multifunctional landscape

•Reduce use of pesticides and fertilizers.
•Use drought-resistant plants.
•Maintain rain gardens and bioretention areas.
•Provide adequate funding for public works departments
6. Maintain and sustain
