Guide to Financing Stormwater Management Designed to help communities find ways to pay for stormwater management projects. Includes an annotated bibliography, archives, manuals, case studies and links to specific resource sites. Changing regulations and concern about the adverse environmental effects of stormwater discharges are requiring stormwater management programs to evolve and expand. No longer is the sole focus of these programs on flood control through the provision of drainage, typically through the control of postdevelopment stormwater peak discharge rates. Stormwater programs must now address erosion and sediment control during the construction phase and minimize the discharge of pollutants after construction is completed by using stormwater treatment practices. Stormwater programs must also include public education efforts and focus more on the longterm maintenance of stormwater systems.To assist local governments in meeting the challenges of establishing comprehensive stormwater management programs, the EPA and states have prepared numerous publications as part of the Stormwater Tool Box. Several of these publications are included in the bibliography and archive portions of this website. A comprehensive stormwater management program must have a sound institutional, technical, and financial foundation.
