Stormwater Management and Design Guidance Manual
West Virgina Department of Environmental Protection recently released the Stormwater Management and Design Guidance
Manual. You can download the entire manual from this website. This manual provides design and guidance on designing
and implementing stormwater management practices that will manage rainfall on site in accordance with West
Virginia's small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) general permit.
This manual contains stormwater management practices that utilize the Runoff Reduction Method, which is a method that
utilizes infiltration, harvesting and evapotranspiration of rainfall on site. For more information about the runoff
reduction method please click here.
