Low Impact Development (LID) Kitsap County, Washington

Description: 

Low Impact Development (LID): to reduce runoff volume by infiltrating rainfall water to groundwater, evaporating rainwater back to the atmosphere after a storm and finding beneficial uses for water rather than exporting it as a waste product down storm sewers – resulting in less surface runoff and less pollution damage to lakes, streams and coastal waters. Kitsap LID is dedicated to helping builders and homeowners find the best way to lessen their impact on the environment.

Low Impact Development (LID) (Massachusetts)

Description: 

Low Impact Development (LID) is a more sustainable land development approach that begins with a site planning process that first identifies critical natural resource areas for preservation. Development patterns based on conventional zoning codes in Massachusetts often result in "sprawl" with its associated large impervious areas, loss of natural resources and habitat, increase in nonpoint source pollution, and alteration of hydrologic systems.

Alberta Low Impact Development Partnership Society

Description: 

To protect and maintain the integrity of the natural environment while promoting the growth, prosperity and quality of life of Alberta’s communities. Implementation of low impact development practices will lead to healthier, more sustainable watersheds. The Alberta Low Impact Development Partnership (ALIDP) was created in the fall of 2004 in response to the need to protect and maintain the integrity of the natural environment while promoting the growth, prosperity and quality of life in Alberta’s communities.

Low Impact Development - Buzzards Bay National Estuary

Description: 

The goal of LID is to mimic a site's predevelopment hydrology by using design techniques that infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate, and detain runoff close to its source. The Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program is an advisory and planning unit of the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management. We receive funding from, and are part of, the US Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program. Created in 1985, the Buzzards Bay NEP completed a Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan for the Bay in 1991.

Low Impact Development (LID) Practices for Storm Water Management

URL: 

Low Impact Development (LID) Practices for Storm Water Management

Description: 

A cost effective way to address storm water management through site design modifications and "Best Management Practices". Water quality concerns have intensified and storm water management practices have come under scrutiny as development occurs on an increasing percentage of the available land area in the United States. With more stringent design requirements, costs for traditional collection and conveyance systems have risen sharply.
