Integrated Approachfactors will be available space, available hydraulic head (difference in water surfaceelevation between inflow and outflow), and soil permeability. In some cases, a smalladjustment <strong>of</strong> elevations within the site plan can make a particular treatment optionfeasible and cost effective.When developing a drainage and treatment strategy, also consider whether to routemost or all drainage through a single detention and treatment control measure or todisperse smaller control measures throughout the site. Piping run<strong>of</strong>f to a singletreatment area may be simpler and easier to design, but designs that integratesmaller techniques such as swales, small landscaped areas, and planter boxesthroughout the site are typically more cost-effective, less maintenance intensive, andmore attractive. Chapter 6 describes various treatment control measures that areacceptable for use in the <strong>Sacramento</strong> and South Placer regions, such as:• Three types <strong>of</strong> water quality detention basins (dry, wet and combination)• Infiltration basin and trench• Sand filter• <strong>Stormwater</strong> planter (a type <strong>of</strong> bioretention facility)• Vegetated swale and filter stripReferences• Start at the Source: <strong>Design</strong> Guidance <strong>Manual</strong> for <strong>Stormwater</strong> <strong>Quality</strong>Protection, Bay Area <strong>Stormwater</strong> Management Agencies Association, 1999.http://www.scvurppp-w2k.com/basmaa_satsm.htm• Using Site <strong>Design</strong> Techniques to Meet Development Standards for <strong>Stormwater</strong><strong>Quality</strong>: A Companion Document to Start at the Source, Bay Area <strong>Stormwater</strong>Management Agencies Association, <strong>May</strong> 2003. http://www.scvurpppw2k.com/basmaa_satsm.htm• Low Impact Development <strong>Design</strong> Strategies: An Integrated <strong>Design</strong> Approach,Prince George’s County, Dept. <strong>of</strong> Environmental Resources, Maryland, June1999. http://www.epa.gov/owow/nps/lidnatl.pdf• California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbook for Development,California <strong>Stormwater</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> Association, <strong>May</strong> 2003.Additional Resources• <strong>Stormwater</strong> Strategies: Community Responses to Run<strong>of</strong>f Pollution, Chapter 12 –Low Impact Development, Natural Resources Defense Council, October 2001.http://www.nrdc.org/water/pollution/storm/chap12.asp• Site Planning for Urban Stream Protection, Center for Watershed Protection(Tom Schueler), 1995.• Urban Small Sites Best Management Practice <strong>Manual</strong>, Barr Engineering forMetropolitan Council <strong>of</strong> Governments (Minneapolis/St. Paul).<strong>Stormwater</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> for the <strong>Sacramento</strong> and South Placer Regions<strong>May</strong> <strong>2007</strong> 2-7
