West Bedford Master Stormwater Management Plan
• Promote evapotranspiration from trees and natural ground cover
• Increased Green Space minimizes the disturbed acreage that will require fertilizer.
• Preserved natural green space promotes groundwater recharge and allows the preservation of native vegetation.
• Non-disturbance preserved natural drainage corridors on watercourses.
• Direction of roof leader discharge to vegetated areas rather than street.
• Rain Barrels provided to each resident for first flush storm water collection and lawn care irrigation.
• A restrictive covenant requiring homebuilders to place 8” of topsoil in front yards and 6” in rear yards.
• Jacques Whitford to give recommendation on topsoil chemistry to maximize phosphorus removal
• Home Owners guide to Best Management Practices on Low Impact lawn care maintenance
• WBHL in addition to street trees to require home owners on lots ≤ 40’ wide to plant one (1) shade tree in front yard. For lots ≥ 50’ wide two (2) shade trees must be planted.
