(A) Stimulate innovation. The regulations of this chapter are designed to stimulate innovation in the stormwater management field. With a higher degree of accuracy in modeling the stormwater, an improved project will be available at lower cost.
(B) Method of estimating runoff. It is intended that the method of estimating runoff be chosen by size of the drainage area, data available and the degree of sophistication warranted for the design. The methods discussed shall be used as minimum design procedures. There exist numerous estimation methods, and they are constantly being improved, thus the estimation of rainfall shall be conducted using the best practicable technology.
