Book excerpt: This report provides practical information to developers, landscape architects, and municipalities to promote stormwater best management practices (BMPs) at the level of the individual lot or a cluster of buildings. It examines the costs and benefits of practical solutions as well as any barriers to implementation through a series of case studies. Specifically, the study: documents case studies of lot- and cluster- level stormwater BMPs, including documentation of their key economic, technical, and implementation issues; and lists the key economic, technical, and implementation issues of other potential BMPs where relevant case studies are unavailable in Canada. Other topics covered within the report include: l an overview of key stormwater management issues. l traditional stormwater management financing options. l alternative lot- and cluster- level stormwater best management practices. l a high-level overview of BMP functions, and l descriptions of the ten stormwater best management practices, as well as effectiveness and economic analyses, and a discussion of implementation issues.
