Stormwater: Catalog of Stormwater BMPs

for Idaho Cities and Counties

 

This document is a revision of the Catalog of Stormwater BMPs for Idaho Cities and Counties originally developed in 1998. Its target audience is design professionals, such as landscape architects, geologists, engineers, and soil scientists, and local public officials and staff responsible for the review and approval of development applications.


The revised catalog provides more than 100 ways to control erosion and sediment during and after construction. It is comprised of the following five volumes:

  • Volume 1 includes a brief discussion of stormwater runoff impacts, an overview of agencies responsible for stormwater permitting and authority in Idaho, and a step-by-step procedure for site design.
  • Volume 2 contains construction BMPs to control erosion and sediment.
  • Volume 3 covers low-impact development and provides techniques that can minimize changes to the hydrology of development sites.
  • Volume 4 contains post-construction/permanent BMPs.
  • Volume 5 provides source control BMPs for industrial, commercial, and residential land use activities.

Note: All files are in PDF format. If you have difficulty opening PDF documents, link to DEQ's About PDF Documents Web page for assistance.
