Runoff Reduction Method Technical Memo (Center for Watershed Protection and Chesapeake Stormwater Network, 2008). This memo uses extensive background research on BMP performance to determine the ability for the BMP to reduce the overall volume of runoff in addition to pollutant removal. The method also incorporates built-in incentives for environmental site design, such as preserving forests and reducing soil disturbance and impervious cover.
