Low-impact development design is an acceptable alternative development technique provided that such design employs appropriate management techniques and includes provisions for long-term maintenance of facilities. Low-impact development design is a site design approach which seeks to integrate functional design with pollution prevention measures to manage land development impacts on storm water.
