]]> Annis Water Resources Institute Stormwater Educational Handbook http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/egmo/1 http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/egmo/1 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 07:06:03 PST The goal of the Kent County Stormwater Management Program is to improve and protect the region’s quality of life by preventing and minimizing any impacts of stormwater runoff into a valuable resource.

The Task Force hopes that this handbook will be useful whether the reader is new to the subject of stormwater or has questions of the most technical nature. For instance, Part 5 refers the reader to a wealth of additional information available in printed documents or through the Internet. For ease of use, each section has a separate divider with a number on the tab extension. A history of the model ordinance and management tools is provided in Appendix B for those interested in the background of the present effort.
