New jersey StormwaterBest Management Practices ManualFebruary 2004 CHAPTER 2 Low ImpactDevelopment TechniquesAs described in CHAPTER 1, land Development can have severe adverse stormwater impacts, particularly if theland is converted from woods, meadow, or other natural condition to a highly disturbed area with largepercentages of impervious and non-native vegetated covers. Such impacts typically include an increase instormwater runoff volume, rate, velocity, and pollutants and a corresponding decrease in the quality ofrunoff and stream flow. Frequently, management of these impacts has focused on collecting and conveyingthe runoff from the entire site through a structural conveyance system to a centralized facility ( ,detention basin, wet pond) where it is stored and treated prior to discharge downstream.
