In April of 2003, The Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency issued a
General
Construction Permit for the State of Ohio that requires all
sites that are greater than one acre in size or that are part of a
larger common development to address the quality of the Storm Water
leaving the development for the life of the project. Learn More... |
There is a variety of practices available to
provide treatment for storm water depending upon the land use, watershed
size, land area and aesthetics. Design Manuals that provide a matrix
based upon these factors are useful in selecting a practice that will
function as intended over time. For more information refer to the
Georgia Storm Water Manual
or Ohio's Rain Water and Land Development Manual. |
The Summit SWCD along with GBC
Design, Inc. has developed a simple spreadsheet to aid in the
design of structural water quality practices. See the links below.

In addition, this spreadsheet can be used to modify
basins for sediment control during construction. |
