​Planning Documents

The science of stormwater quality management is evolving and new and innovative control measure technologies are constantly being introduced to design professionals. For this reason, this manual will need to be a dynamic document that will be reviewed and updated periodically.  Manual users are responsible for ensuring that they are referencing the most current edition, by checking www.beriverfriendly.net (New Development) or contact Archie Wright, wrightar@SacCounty.​gov.

• Stormwater Quality Design Manual for the Sacramento and South Placer Regions — download from the Sacramento Stormw​ater Quality Partnership website. 
  

Improvement Plan Documents​

• Not sure which stormwater quality requirements apply to your project? Check out Tab​le 3-3 
  

• Want to know how many LID points you need for your project, or how much volume you need to treat? Please see the revised ​​residential​ and ​commercial ​LID Credits Worksheets!
  

• Page 3-12 of the Design Manual does not recommend projects that employ extensive BMPs to use the spreadsheets.  To use the spreadsheets, individual BMPs with respective sub-sheds can be used and then weighted against the total shed area.
• If there are multiple Points of Compliance (POCs), each POC must reach 100 points.
• Like flow charts? We have one for you: Stormwater Quality Requirements flow chart​​
  
• Please review this table for agency policy on including low impact development features in the Right-Of-Way.
