Stormwater Quality Design Manual

Upcoming and Ongoing Training and Workshop Opportunities

An on-line training course is available through CSUS for the California Stormwater Quality Association’s BMP Handbook for New and Redevelopment Projects. The CASQA BMP handbook provides good introductory and background information on stormwater quality control measures and was used as a reference for the creation of the Stormwater Quality Design Manual for Sacramento and South Placer Counties. See the flyer for more information.

Additional Resources

Development Standards Plan (DSP) — The Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership submitted the DSP to the Regional Water Quality Control Board on December 1, 2003. The DSP was approved by the Regional Board on May 18, 2005, following a public review period. This gave the Partnership agencies one year (until May 18, 2006) to amend their development standards and two years (until May 18, 2007) to issue an amended technical guidance manual.
State Water Board’s Low Impact Development (LID) Policy — In 2006, the State of California Water Resources Control Board issued their policy statement regarding the use of Low Impact Development (LID) as a sustainable stormwater management practice.
Start at the Source — Design Guidance Manual for Stormwater Quality Protection.
Using Site Design Techniques to meet Development Standards for Stormwater Quality — A Companion Document to Start at the Source Manual.
Case Study examples of installed stormwater quality control measures and LID techniques at completed projects in the San Francisco Bay Area are available in several Site Design Guidebooks available for download at the Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association (BASMAA) web site: http://www.basmaa.org/documents/index.cfm?fuseaction=documents&doctypeID=3
