Stormwater Management Guidelines
CVC’s Stormwater Management (SWM) Guidelines establish the environmental design criteria for use in the planning and design of stormwater management plans. In areas where a comprehensive environmental study (e.g. subwatershed study, environmental implementation report or environmental management plan) has been completed and alternative design criteria for stormwater management are recommended, the specific criteria in this document may not apply. In these instances, the alternative design criteria must meet the objectives of CVC’s most up-to-date environmental design criteria (i.e. flood control, water quality, erosion, recharge, natural heritage system). It is the applicant’s responsibility to confirm with CVC and the appropriate municipality whether or not the alternative environmental design criteria for stormwater management recommended in the comprehensive environmental study is appropriate.
