Low Impact Development Strategies in development plans for Erosion and Sediment Control are important sustainability concepts in protecting surface waters. These can be done primarily through implementing aspects of Low Impact Development (LID).

LID mimics nature and treats stormwater as a resource, rather than simply something to be conveyed offsite and into surface waters. LID controls stormwater at the source and keeps much of it on site for use or groundwater infiltration. Additional information on LID and sustainability can be found at the following locations.
