Welcome This website has been developed
as a beta version
by the Low Impact Development (LID) Center through a grant under the US EPA Region
1 in order to provide a web-based template that allows watershed
stakeholders* to address typical New England nonpoint source (NPS) concerns.
As you will see this website does not provide detailed information
Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs). The purpose of this
website is to assist stakeholders in utilizing LID BMPs in their QAPPs.
For more detailed information on QAPPs please visit the
links page.
About This Project
The goal of this project
is to provide sufficient information on the potential use and
applicability of several LID best
management practices (BMPs). This website provides one example of
a general design process that can be utilized when implementing other
LID BMPs. You can find other examples of successful LID BMP
implementation
here.

*NOTE: For the purpose of this website a
stakeholder is considered anyone in the watershed. The level of
experience is going to vary with each stakeholder(s). As noted

consult with local experts (e.g.
NRCS,
State and Federal Environmental Protection Agencies).
