Infiltration Best Management Practices for Stormwater for the Etowah Habitat Conservation Plan
This paper will give an overview of a new manual to meet a new set of stormwater management requirements in the Etowah River watershed of North Georgia. The background issues that drove the creation of the new manual will be discussed. The paper will describe the infiltration BMPs that were recommended. It will give an overview of the specifications created for the infiltration best management practices (BMPs) on design, installation, and maintenance. The Etowah Habitat Conservation Plan was developed to prevent further degradation of aquatic habitat for several endangered species of darter fish native to the Etowah River. One of the unique requirements established for stormwater management is the runoff limit program which requires retaining and infiltrating stormwater on-site. The runoff limit program was designed to create post construction stormwater responses that would mimic pre-development and pre-agriculture hydrology conditions. To assist local officials and developers in meeting the runoff limit criteria, guidelines and specifications for infiltration BMPs were developed and included in a Manual on how to meet the runoff limit criteria for managing stormwater on-site. This manual and trainings on design, installation and maintenance of the infiltration BMP will provide options for developers and guidance for local officials to meet the runoff limit criteria.
