5.3 BMP Selection

This section describes the steps for selecting appropriate stormwater BMPs and is organized into the following five sections:

• Vol II–5.3.1 Determine Dispersion Feasibility

• Vol II–5.3.2 Determine Infiltration Feasibility

• Vol II–5.3.3 Select BMPs for On-Site Stormwater Management

• Vol II–5.3.4 Select BMPs for Runoff Treatment

• Vol II–5.3.5 Select BMPs for Flow Control

Since dispersion and infiltration BMPs can serve multiple functions (on-site stormwater management, flow control, or runoff treatment), the process for evaluating feasibility for these types of BMPs shall be conducted first. Following the dispersion and infiltration feasibility determination are specific steps related to:

• MR #5: On-site Stormwater Management
• MR #6: Runoff Treatment
• MR #7: Flow Control

Note that one, two, or all three of these minimum requirements may apply. Also note that MR #1–#4 and MR #8 and #9 may also apply. See Volume I, Chapter 3 and Volume I, Chapter 4 to determine which minimum requirements apply to the project and the standards for complying with all minimum requirements.

For additional information on how to select BMPs for source control, see Vol II–3.5 Local Amendments to Operational and Structural Source Control BMPs.
