Stormwater Quality Design Manual (May 2007) - City of Sacramento ...

Introduction• The Appendices provide additional detail on a number of topics. In addition:• Appendix C lists permitting and contact information related to discharges to thesanitary sewer; that is included since some source control measures call fordischarging potentially polluted site runoff to the sanitary sewer.• Appendix H lists sources for stormwater management information not coveredby this manual (as described in the next section).Reference materials used to develop eachchapter are listed at the end of that chapter,and references used to develop the variouscontrol measure fact sheets are presented atthe end of each fact sheet in Chapters 4-6. Thetwo main reference documents were the Cityand County of Sacramento’s Guidance Manualfor On-Site Stormwater Quality ControlMeasures (January 2000) and the CaliforniaStormwater Quality Association’s statewidedocument, California Storm Water BestManagement Practice Handbook forDevelopment (May 2003).CASQA’s California BMPHandbook for Developmentwas referenced in the creationof this Design Manual, withmany adaptations made forthe Sacramento Region. In theevent of conflicts between thismanual and the CASQAhandbook, this manual willgenerally take precedence.Contact your local permittingagency for clarification.Stormwater Management Information Not in the ManualThis manual does not include:• drainage/flood control design standards• temporary erosion and sediment controls and other pollution controls usedduring construction activities• on-going operational practices to control pollution at industrial and commercialfacilities once they are constructed (such as making sure employees don’t dumphazardous or liquid wastes in the trash).For information about those topics, see the references listed in Appendix H.Obtaining the Manual and UpdatesGo to www.sacramentostormwater.org to download this manual (PDF format) andobtain information for ordering a hard copy.
