Low Impact Development / Green infrastructure
– "LID is an approach to land development (or re-development)
that works with nature to manage stormwater as close to its
source as possible. LID employs principles such as preserving
and recreating natural landscape features, minimizing effective
imperviousness to create functional and appealing site
drainage that treat stormwater as a resource rather than a
waste product. There are many practices that have been used
to adhere to these principles such as bioretention facilities,
rain gardens, vegetated rooftops, rain barrels, and permeable
pavements. By implementing LID principles and practices,
water can be managed in a way that reduces the impact of
built areas and promotes the natural movement of water
within an ecosystem or watershed."

Low Impact Development / Green infrastructure
• Design Features that:
– Increase system storage
– Reduce runoff rates
– Reduce runoff volumes
– Increase nutrient removal
• All of which increase retention
and ultimately infiltration
• Bottom Line, Healthier
Environment = Healthier River
![Page 5: Low impact development_coupled_with_floodplain_mitigation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021815/586e0efe1a28ab8a588b49dd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
• Minimize clearing (especially along site
perimeters) and Less Turf
• Stream buffers = 100-yr floodplain (structures
out of 100-yr footprint)
• Maintain 100-Year floodplain storage
– No net loss in concert with floodway
protection
• Promote infiltration where possible (Water
Your Plants)
– 0.25 to 0.5 inches in landscape
areas/swales, rain gardens, cisterns
Green, Low Impact Development Components

Examples of Low Impact Development (LID)
Considerations in Jacksonville
• Master Stormwater Management
Plan (MSMP) 1992
– Floodplain and floodway protection
– Volume-time detention
– Stormwater project components
• City of Jacksonville LID Manual
• Kennedy Community Center
• Wurn and Fletcher Morgan Parks
study
• Valens Drive study
![Page 7: Low impact development_coupled_with_floodplain_mitigation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021815/586e0efe1a28ab8a588b49dd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
City of Jacksonville LID Manual Focuses on
Right-of-Way LID Applications
• Conveyance and landscape swales
• Bioretention
• Pervious pavement
![Page 8: Low impact development_coupled_with_floodplain_mitigation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021815/586e0efe1a28ab8a588b49dd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Benefits of LID Practices
• Water quality
– Pollutant loads are reduced in proportion to runoff volume
reduction
– Reduced size requirement for ponds with LID in tributary area
– Improved water quality and lower temperature discharges
• Water quantity
– Increased groundwater infiltration, recharge, and baseflow
– May result in reduced pipe sizes and storage volume
requirement for pond with LID in tributary area
– Reduced discharge volumes
– Reductions in potable water supply use by landscape irrigation
![Page 9: Low impact development_coupled_with_floodplain_mitigation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021815/586e0efe1a28ab8a588b49dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Evaluation of Runoff Control Practices
• Goal: reasonable water budget and seasonal water table
representation
• Long-term H&H and water quality simulations using SWMM5
– Pre-development (runoff, groundwater) for undeveloped
(pervious) land
– Post-development: impervious land (e.g., roadway, parking lot)
routed to LID feature
– Determine average annual % runoff capture
![Page 10: Low impact development_coupled_with_floodplain_mitigation](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021815/586e0efe1a28ab8a588b49dd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SWMM5 – Undeveloped Area
• Long-term simulations
using SWMM5
– Surface runoff
hydrologic parameters
based on
MSMP modeling
– Added groundwater
parameter values for
calculation
of baseflow
– Target: Rainfall
converted to roughly
30% streamflow, 70% ET

SWMM5 – Developed Area
• Long-term simulation with impervious area runoff routed to
LID feature
– Various ratios of impervious tributary area to LID surface area
– Typical design characteristics for LID feature (e.g., bioretention
ponding depth and planting media depth)
• Goal: determine runoff capture efficiency based on LID
storage/treatment volume
