Seattle's Policy and Pilots to Support Green Stormwater Infrastructure
The enthusiasm and demand for stormwater management using "softer" stormwater management techniques has been growing rapidly in Seattle. Seattle Public Utilities' Low Impact Development (LID) program was formed to meet, cultivate and help direct that enthusiasm. Within the last couple years our LID program has implemented numerous new policies and programs to encourage implementation of green stormwater infrastructure by private property developers and owners, as well as allowing the Utility to better evaluate use of Green Infrastructure for solving business area need. This paper provides an overview of the tools in place for new construction and retrofit using the Green Stormwater Infrastructure toolbox.
