Why LID Innovation Could be a Game Changer in the Bay
![Page 3: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Every Bay State has adopted LID/runoff reduction practices for new and redevelopment
• Progress in adopting innovative LID practices among designers has been slow
• Don’t yet have the ability to showcase projects that sell the multiple benefits of LID to the public at large
![Page 4: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
These practices are still new to many engineers
Percent of Bay Engineers that have Never designed a practice: Green Roof: 67% Amended Soils: 65% Rainwater Harvesting: 50% Disconnection: 50% Filter Strip: 47% Dry Swale: 46% Permeable Pavement: 45%
![Page 5: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Designers do need to improve their nutrient IQ and think more about long term performance
• Nutrient IQ has increased in response to CBSTP
• Not much change, however, in the % of high performing practices that are built
• Need new ways to change design behaviors and gain greater acceptance of LID
![Page 6: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Innovation is about more than just performance
• In quest to meet new state standards and local nutrient reductions, we sometimes forget about beauty and public amenities.
• Like this guy--

The state of LID/GI adoption & know-how, before?
0 Near zero knowledge base and essentially no LID implementation
0 No zoning and minimal rules
0 Picture next to the definition of ‘urban sprawl’?
0 No significant stormwater quality requirements
0 If it’s bigger than a Coke can, you have to keep it out of the bayou
0 Flood control dominates stormwater thinking
![Page 9: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
On some things, we agreed…
0Developing ‘the way we’ve always done it’ is more and more counterproductive
0 For local governments, the cost of keeping pace with traditional development is an increasingly overwhelming burden
0Change is coming (inevitable)
0A leadership role is better than the alternative
The Houston Land/Water Sustainability Forum’s mission is to “enhance, enable and integrate sustainable use of land and water for the Houston area’s continued growth and economic vitality.”
![Page 10: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The state of LID/GI adoption after?
0 Local know-how and LID-based project count are growing exponentially
0Engineering firms moving rapidly to LID focus
0Collaborative teams have fostered long term working relationships between disciplines
0City and County have definite bias towards LID-based public projects
0Competition participants are leaders in the new marketplace
![Page 11: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why a competition?
0Resolve the ‘chicken or the egg’ syndrome
0Use peer and market pressure to get uninterested engineering community to explore LID
0Avoid ‘missed opportunities’ in LEED projects
‘It’ll never work here. We have heavy clay soils, flat land, intense rain events and too
much rainfall.’
![Page 12: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What were your Goals?
0 Leverage HLWSF educational programming
0Prompt the design community to determine that LID would ‘work’ in Houston
0Determine if LID makes sense when regulatory drivers don’t exist
0Drive widespread adoption, adaptation and implementation of LID in the Houston area
![Page 13: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How was it structured?
0Use real properties with challenging conditions
0Knowledge transfer, viable LID adaptations
0 Focus on runoff reduction and attenuation
0Post-construction hydrograph to be equal to or below pre-developed condition for 5, 10 and 100 year events
0Key players must have ‘skin in the game’
0Designers, developers, planners, city, county, etc.
0Required for meaningful progress

Economics as a Driver?
0Without question!
0Results of every submittal found LID less expensive than traditional approach
0 It’s the only available driver in Houston area
0 LID design standard provides stormwater quality
0 Our traditional design standards require only minimal stormwater quality in some circumstances
![Page 26: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Other Consistent Results
0Major reductions in runoff are a very possible
0 The post-development property can function hydrologically like the pre-developed property
0Mimicking nature really works
0Conservative civil engineering firms proselytize for ‘green infrastructure.’
You roll the dice and take your chances. It’s sweet when it all works out.
![Page 27: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What was the overall impact?
0Drove a ‘make it happen now’ approach in local government as well as design community
0Two oldest Civil Engineering firms in Houston area have switched entire business model to LID-based design…more to follow
0Collaborative working relationships between disciplines are bearing fruit in terms of holistic designs
0Major move to LID in all types of development
![Page 28: Session Agenda - Chesapeake Stormwater Networkchesapeakestormwater.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2012/06/Fostering-LID-Innovation...The state of LID/GI adoption after? 0Local know-how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041602/5e316226deef1641c61c0858/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Expediting LID Permitting and Implementation
0Eliminate ‘fear of delay’ for developers
0Deal with obstacles in the code
0 ‘Interim’ LID Design Guide
0Collaborative and expedited permitting process
0 Innovation friendly
0Drive rapid implementation and maximizing learning experience for all parties
0 Future code to be based on ‘interim’ experience
Taking timely advantage of the new groundswell of interest is critical to success.
“How badly could we screw it up?”

“This LID design project is a great example of how
design professionals can make a difference to our
built environment… The results provided a real world
solution that can truly be incorporated into the built
environment.”
