An introduction to stormwater quality management that includes an overview of water quality <br /> <br /> <br />impacts and explains the selection and use of nonstructural and structural BMPs <br /> <br />. A discussion on stormwater quality and hydrology, urban runoff, and pollutant loadings <br /> <br />. Technical criteria for the structural BMPs recommended for consideration and use in developing <br />residential and commercial areas in the Denver metropolitan area and other areas with similar <br />climate and meteorology <br /> <br />. Technical guidance for structural BMPs that can be used in light industrial and certain commercial <br />establishments <br /> <br />. A description of various nonstructural BMPs and how they may be implemented <br /> <br />. A collection of example structures and their details that could be used in stormwater quality <br />facilities <br /> <br />. Guidance in the selection and use of erosion control practices during construction <br /> <br />The combined Bibliography section for this volume includes references for each chapter to show where <br />additional materials on the topics presented in this manual may be found. <br /> <br />This volume is primarily targeted at developing and redeveloping residential and commercial areas, The <br />1999 edition of this manual goes beyond the 1992 edition by addressing BMPs for light Industrial, or other <br />types of land uses, some of which are being permitted directly by the State of Colorado or the U.S. <br />Environmental Protection Agency. This list is not meant to be comprehensive-as BMPs are evaluated <br />and refined, or are promulgated by the State, they may be added to this manual.
