Stormwater Management

The goal of stormwater management is to mitigate the effects of development on the receiving stream system. Mitigation is achieved by implementing practices in accordance with the 2000 Maryland Department of the Environment's Stormwater Design Manual as amended and with Montgomery County design requirements.

The DPS Water Resource Section reviews plans for conformance with the requirements of Chapter 19 of the Montgomery County Code which includes the provisions for addressing stormwater mangement in Montgomery County.
