LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT MIXTURE EVALUATION FOR HEAVY METAL REMOVAL
… to urban stormwater runoff, the LIDMATTM (Low Impact Development MAT) is a stormwater management runoff system designed and manufactured for effective treatment for heavy metals. The LIDMATTM contains approximately 70% sand, 25% manure compost, and 5% steel slag by mass. The LIDMATTM was …

The Adoption of Low Impact Development by Local Governments
Low impact development (LID) is an innovative stormwater management technique that was introduced in early 1990s. However, the transition to use of this more sustainable method has been slow due to technical, institutional, and regulatory barriers to LID adoption. The research questions for this …

Hydrologic Evaluation of Low Impact Development Using a Continuous, Spatially-Distributed Model
Low Impact Development (LID) is gaining popularity as a solution to erosion, flooding, and water quality problems that stormwater ponds partially address. LID analysis takes a spatially lumped approach, based on maintaining the predevelopment Curve Number and time of concentration, precluding …

Performance Evaluation of a Low Impact Development Retrofit for Urban Stormwater Treatment
The goal of Low Impact Development (LID) is to mimic the pre-development hydrologic regime of a catchment through infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation, and detention of post-development runoff using small-scale hydrologic controls close to the source. A LID facility located in Northern …

Investigation of Low Impact Development Practices For Coastal South Carolina: Oak Terrace Preserve
… conversion of forested lands to sprawling urban development. The impervious cover (e.g., roads, rooftops, driveways) that accompanies urban development leads to increases in the volume of stormwater and subsequent contributions of non-point source pollution to coastal water bodies (e.g., tidal …

Low-impact development in the Assabet River Watershed : site hydrologic design and watershed-scal implications
Low-Impact Development (LID) is a relatively new approach to stormwater management. It aims to mimic natural hydrology through increased recharge and decreased runoff. LID technologies focus on distributed treatment of stormwater, as opposed to traditional centralized management. The potential …

An Assessment of Impediments to Low-Impact Development in the Virginia Portion of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
… as well as quality, must be considered, and Low Impact Development(LID) is an innovative stormwater management approach that addresses both. LID seeks to mimic a site's predevelopment hydrologic regime by retaining and treating stormwater at the lot level using small, cost-effective landscape …

A Cost Comparison of a Low Impact Development to traditional Residential Development along the South Carolina Coast
<p>Low Impact Developments (LID) are an untraditional form of land development which face skepticism due to lack of knowledge of the costs, implementation, and long term effectiveness. LIDs have shown to produce environmental benefits through reduction in sprawl, management of stormwater runoff, …

Analysis of Sinkhole Susceptibility and Karst Distribution in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, Virginia: Implications for Low Impact Development (LID) Site Suitability Models
Increased stormwater runoff due to urban development in the northern Shenandoah Valley (NSV) region of Virginia has prompted local officials and representatives to consider Low Impact Development (LID) as a stormwater management technique. LID is based on infiltrating stormwater runoff at the …

The process of and barriers to environmentally-oriented real estate development : examining the role of organizational structure, project delivery methods and contracts in low impact development
Low Impact Development (LID) is a site planning approach that limits the environmental impact of development on the local hydrological regime. By preserving and mimicking natural landscape features, LID introduces a new site planning and stormwater management paradigm to mainstream real estate …
