Low Impact Development

Perspectives: Developer Perry Senn KPS Land Development

Design Margaret Robinson

LID-low impact development – what is it? LID is an approach to land development that works with

nature to manage stormwater as close to its source as possible. preserving and recreating natural landscape features minimizing imperviousness to create functional and appealing site

drainage that treats stormwater as a resource rather than a waste product.

Tools: bioretention facilities (bioswales) vegetated swales rain gardens vegetated rooftops (greenroofs) rain barrels, tanks and cisterns permeable pavements. LID Works Everywhere LID can be applied to new development, redevelopment, or as retrofits

to existing development. LID and Green Infrastructure EPA intends the term "green infrastructure" to generally refer to

systems and practices that use or mimic natural processes to infiltrate, evapotranspirate or reuse stormwater or runoff on the site where it is generated.

LID-benefits Filters stormwater through plants /engineered soil mixes-

removes 80%+ pollutants, total suspended solids (TSS) and heavy metals

Diverts floatable trash from stormwater systems, bayous, lakes

Provides detention volume within media, swales, reservoirs

Bioswales may reduce drainage system costs by up to 30%

Captures rainwater for use as a resource rather than discarded

as a waste product

Adds landscape area

Creates wildlife and native plant habitat

Contributes to LEED, Sustainable Sites, Green Roadway and Living Building Challenge point systems

Encourages coordination between Engineers, Hydrologists, Landscape Architects, Architects, Contractors, Maintenance Programs, Clients
