Stormwater Control Measures (BMPs)

Post-construction SCM catalogs group practices as green infrastructure or LID, conventional detention and retention, filtration, and manufactured treatment. Many manuals use a selection hierarchy: avoid and minimize imperviousness, then reduce runoff, then treat, then detain. Category signals in atlas approved-BMP lists commonly include bioretention, infiltration, detention, and manufactured treatment.

Karst and high groundwater restrict infiltration. Arid West emphasizes retention and dust or TSS. Cold climate needs freeze-thaw detailing. Coastal salinity and tide affect wetland and outfall design.

How to reference proprietary MTD approval programs. Whether green-infrastructure-first is a requirement or guidance. Separation of ESC versus permanent SCMs.
