Notes:
Although parking lots are a significant source of stormwater pollution, not all communities require developers to provide stormwater quality control. In addition, opportunities to minimize the amount of stormwater runoff generated or to manage runoff are often overlooked. Parking lots can be made more attractive and provide stormwater management. Bioretention areas, dry swales, perimeter sand filters, and filter strips, are some of the different strategies that can be used to treat stormwater before it enters our streams.
