Stormwater Management Information

Purpose:

Stormwater "Best Management Practices" or "BMPs" are used to maintain and enhance the public health, safety, and general welfare by establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse impacts associated with the increase of stormwater runoff.  Proper management of stormwater runoff will minimize damage to public and private property, reduce the effects of development on land, control stream channel erosion, reduce local flooding, and maintain after development, as nearly as possible, the pre-development runoff characteristics.

Important stormwater management information and links are provided below (For any specific questions regarding stormwater management, please contact Lisa Thomas at lthomas@ccgov.org):

Tom Schueler, Chesapeake Stormwater Network, recently gave a presentation at the Cecil County Administration building to discuss how local governments and the development community can smoothly transition into compliance with the new state mandated stormwater regulations. The Power-Point slide-shows used during the discussion are provided below:
