Status: Complete
Report Date: 04/17/2023

Summary:

Stormwater management has become a significantly more time-consuming issue due to increased levels of precipitation in recent years. City and county drainage is complicated by legal requirements and statutes, which are challenging for both local agency engineers and the public. Agencies sought an educational resource to help city and county engineers efficiently navigate these complex, often public-facing issues. The result of this project is a concise guide for city and county engineers, property owners and local officials. The resource includes in-depth reference materials, templates, fact sheets, a cost–benefit analysis and information related to GIS usage.
