Stormwater Management for Small Projects

What a Homeowner Needs to Know What is stormwater and why is it a problem?

Why is stormwater management important?

How will the updated stormwater standards help reduce these problems?

Stormwater is rainfall that runs off of roofs, driveways, lawns, roads, parking lots, sidewalks, farm fields, and other surfaces created or disturbed by manmade activities.

This runoff picks up pollutants (such as dirt, oil, litter, pesticides, fertilizer, etc.) as it flows across these surfaces, and eventually enters local streams. While rainfall is natural, stormwater is manmade.

The purpose of stormwater management is to protect property, infrastructure and streams from destructive stormwater impacts by ensuring rain can be absorbed close to where it falls, thereby reducing the volume of runoff.

By controlling stormwater runoff from new impervious and disturbed surfaces on individual properties, we can:

In decades past, local stormwater management was designed without regard to the cumulative impact of runoff on downstream properties and streams. To address this and the future increase in population and development across watersheds, updated stormwater management ordinance standards were necessary to meet state and federal requirements. The updated standards require new development and redevelopment projects (large and small) to be constructed in a way that maintains or reduces the amount of stormwater that leaves the site; this will help reduce the cumulative impacts of flooding and erosion on downgradient properties and streams. It will also help keep our waters clean that serve as a critical source of public drinking water.

Large volumes of stormwater overwhelm, erode and pollute local streams, and flood low lying areas. To lessen these destructive stormwater impacts and help ensure any existing problems do not worsen, many municipalities have adopted new stormwater management ordinance standards. These new standards are a key tool in reducing these stormwater impacts, safeguarding properties from flooding and erosion, and protecting streams and local water quality.

protect downstream properties, roads and infrastructure from increased erosion and flooding. protect water quality in our streams and reservoirs to provide clean water for drinking, businesses, farming, and swimming, and for fish and other aquatic living resources.

Without effective stormwater management, problems caused by too much runoff, erosion and pollutants (such as sediment, nutrients and bacteria) become very difficult and costly for property owners and communities to fix.

The best approach to minimize flooding and improve water quality is to allow rain to be absorbed close to where it falls reducing stormwater runoff.

Stormwater Management for Small Projects How can stormwater runoff be minimized for a small project?

The first step is to discuss your planned project with your municipal engineer or zoning officer to determine what requirements apply to your project. Then, design your small project with the least amount of impervious surface and the minimum amount of area to be disturbed (or compacted during construction). The third step is to mimic nature by allowing the rain to be absorbed close to where it falls. This is accomplished by installing one or more stormwater best management practices (BMPs) that will capture and absorb the stormwater generated by the proposed project,

Rain barrels capture roof runoff. With a soaker hose attached, this BMP can also help your garden survive drier periods.

and minimize any increase in the amount of stormwater runoff flowing off of the property.

What stormwater BMPs can be used for small projects?

Examples of BMPs that are generally suitable for small projects can include features such as infiltration trenches, an attractive rain garden, permeable pavers for patio installations, rain barrels or a cistern, or a rainwater infiltration border along a driveway planted with attractive wildflowers. More than one of these BMPs may be used in combination to address other more significant drainage or stormwater problems on the property.

How should a stormwater BMP be chosen?

Before choosing a BMP, consult with your municipality, as they may prefer one type of BMP or not allow a particular BMP. Homeowners will need to understand the function of the chosen BMP and homeowners will be responsible for completing ongoing inspections and maintenance. Just as a house requires routine inspection and upkeep, so too will your chosen BMP(s). Without proper maintenance these BMPs will not function effectively, or they may stop functioning. A BMP can be costly to repair and its failure will contribute to downstream flooding, erosion and pollution.

Where can I learn more about stormwater BMPs for homeowner projects?

The first step is to speak with your municipality to better understand all requirements and limitations regarding small projects. The internet has many excellent resources.

Rain Gardens for Clean Water During rainstorms water flows out of downspouts across lawns treated with fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides, over driveways, walkways, and streets coated

with oil residue, litter, and sediment where it finally flows into stormdrains.

The various pollutants that this stormwater has picked up are then discharged into local streams untreated.

Our local streams drain into the Delaware River which ultimately flows into the Delaware Estuary, a major source of food and recreation for our region. Pollution from stormwater runoff is the leading cause of degradation and impairment of our streams. Therefore, it is vital that we rethink the ways in which our community handles stormwater runoff if we are to improve the integrity of our water ways.

Rain gardens are a proven way to capture overland runoff from your gutters, driveways and walkways and prevent

pollution from entering the storm sewer system and ultimately our streams.

Gutters and impervious surfaces can be directed to a rain garden; a depressed garden that acts like a sponge to capture and infiltrate the rain water back into groundwater supplies with the plants and soil naturally filtering out the pollutants.

These gardens, planted with native flowers, shrubs and grasses, help to mimic natural conditions that were present b e f o r e d e v e l o p m e n t o c c u r r ed .

Additionally, the rush of water that enters a stream during rain events can be greatly reduced by directing the stormwater to a raingarden. This rush of water often causes bank erosion and instream habitat destruction. Rain gardens can soak up to 30% more rain water than lawn areas and increase vital habitat for butterflies and birds.

Mosquitoes will not be an issue with a rain garden as a properly designed and functioning garden will drain within 24 hours. Mosquitoes need standing stagnant water for several days to complete their lifecycle from egg to adult insect.

If you are interested in learning more about rain gardens and installing one on your property, please contact the Eastern Delaware County Stormwater Collaborative at EDCSCinfo@gmail.com.

Spring Safety 610-337-7698 200 King Manor Drive King of Prussia, PA 19406 www.perfect-pooch.com It's hard to believe with snow still on the ground, but spring is almost upon us! With the nice weather coming, there are plenty of opportunities to spend time outside with your pooch. While walking, hiking and playing outdoors can lead to great relationship building and training opportunities, there are a few important safety tips to keep in mind this spring. There are both indoor and outdoor risks that can pose a danger to your dog, so taking a few preventative steps can ensure safe adventures. While outside with your pet, keep these few precautions in mind to ensure their safety during the springtime fun.

First, you should always have identification on your pet. Collar embroidery or I.D. tags are the best option and be sure to update your personal information whenever you move or change phone numbers.

Your pet may already have a microchip implanted under the skin of their neck, which is a great tool that can link your pet back to you. However, remember to update it regularly and keep in mind that not every chip operates on the same frequency, which can impede a reunion. Virtually anyone can read a collar tag, but not everyone knows to take a found dog to a shelter or vet for a microchip scan.

When you are out with your dog in your garden or a public park, be aware that many decorative plants and seasonal foliage are poisonous for your pet.

Easter decorations and flowers can be especially harmful to your pet, as well, so be sure to steer clear of public decorations and decorate your home with care.

towns and neighborhoods use to safeguard greenery. Walking through these chemicals can lead to licked paws or minor burns so it's always a good idea to wipe your dog's paws if they've been walking through green spaces.

Along with spring flowers comes springtime pests. If your pooch is not already on a yearround preventative for heartworm, fleas and ticks, now is a good time to talk to your vet about starting a preventative regimen. With the warm weather come the mosquitoes and other pesky critters that can pass on deadly diseases, such as heartworm and Lyme so it's especially important to protect your pet from these small assailants.

Once you find the best product for your pet, be sure to also do regular spot checks for ticks and fleas, especially after a hike or any romp through tall grass. One quick way to distinguish fleas from dirt is to dab any suspected spots with a wet paper towel. Flea dirt will leave a red residue while regular dirt will look like mud. If you suspect your pet has any sort of infestation, schedule an appointment with your vet to rectify the matter so you and your pooch can continue enjoying the spring weather together.

Remember that you are not the only animals outside enjoying the warmer weather. Small, woodland creatures can pose a big bite risk to your pup so only choose well-traveled paths when adventuring outside and try to keep your pup out of any deep brush.

While working to protect your pet outdoors, don't forget about common indoor dangers this spring. With the nice, warm weather, many of us are tempted to open a window or leave the door ajar, but keep in mind that this

may be an open invitation for your dog to get a quick jail break in this season. Before you leave any windows cracked open, test your screens to ensure they haven't come loose over the window and make sure your storm door or screen door can lock shut. Everyone wants to enjoy the cross breezes, but be sure that you don't end up chasing a pup with three tails to the wind the next time you open a window.

Spring breezes often bring out spring cleaning and minor fixing up around many homes. Most cleaning products are toxic to your pooch so always close all pantry doors and never leave a bucket of cleaning solution unsupervised. One quick drink for your pup can lead to one expensive vet visit for you.

With minor construction projects can come all sorts of paraphernalia that your pup would love to explore: paint, nails, staples, and power tools are all important items to keep away from any curious noses and paws!

Lastly, for your safety and theirs, be aware of any outside allergens that might be invading your home! Air conditioning and fans do a great job of circulating cool air but they can also transfer allergens all over your home.

Changing your filters regularly and leaving your outdoor gear outside can go a long way in reducing the risk of allergens for you and your pet. Pet wipes can also be very useful in helping clean off your dog before they carry dirt and pollens throughout your home so try to keep some stocked right by your door as a reminder to wipe down any dirty coats or paws.

By keeping just a few safety precautions in mind, you and your pooch can enjoy the spring weather in comfort knowing that you are prepared and ready for any spring time hazards.

Happy Training!
