Description
The Bernalillo County Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Low Impact Development (LID) Standards Document was developed to encourage the use of GSI/LID and is being included in the county’s technical standards update. The development standards also meet requirements for GSI/LID in the NPDES MS4 regulations. The purpose of this document is to enhance public understanding and increased application of GSI/LID best practices for stormwater management and pollution reduction in an arid environment. Bernalillo County strives to be a leader in sustainable design and infrastructure, and it is the intent of the county that the techniques and guidance provided in this document may be applicable for other agencies and developers in the Middle Rio Grande Valley and similar locations. The presentation will discuss the process to develop the document and well as details on the document contents, including GSI BMP technical guidance sheets, standard drawings, BMP train diagrams, plant selection resources, and maintenance considerations.
