The writers <br />accomp'lish tiJis objective by 1) analyzing the engineering, legal, and <br />socio-political, factors involved with each of the program elements, 2) <br />recommending appropriate elements for small to medium size communities <br />based on this comi:lined analysis, and 3) presenting the advantages and <br />d i sativallt;ages of the reconlllended elements. <br /> <br />Scope and Limitations <br />In this report, the writers bring together the research efforts in <br />the technical, financial, and regulatory areas to develop a program for <br />managing development-induced drainage impacts. The management program <br />does not address the actual design and construction of drainage and <br />flood control facilities, nor does it rely on a newly developed flood <br />hydrology model. The program is developed for the appropriate allocation <br />of costs for rirainage and flood control facilities using existing cost <br />effective rainfall-runoff models, abbreviated yet reasonable planning <br />procedures, and effective regulatory mechanisms. <br />The program is converted into sample legislation that can be <br />incorporated within local subdivision regulations or state subdivision <br />enabling legislation. This research clarifies those uncertainties in <br />the three element areas of drainage management listed earlier. It <br />represents a comprehensive effort to develop a drainage management <br /> <br />~ , <br />
