(A) The drainage system should be designed to minimize adverse water quality impacts downstream and on the property itself. Detention basins shall incorporate design features to capture storm water runoff pollutants. Detention and infiltration of storm water shall be promoted throughout the property's drainage system to reduce the volume of storm water runoff, and to reduce the quantity of runoff pollutants.
(B) The drainage system should incorporate multiple uses. Uses considered compatible with storm water management include open space, aesthetics, aquatic habitat, recreation (boating, trails, playing fields), wetlands and water quality mitigation. The applicant should avoid using portions of the property exclusively for storm water management.
