JBLM Stormwater Design Guidance
The JBLM Stormwater Design Guidance document replaces the “Pamphlet for New Development and Redevelopment” document. The JBLM Stormwater Design Guidance describes the requirements that designers must meet when developing sites that will disturb more than 5,000 square feet of ground.
Fill out and submit the Stormwater LID Form as a submittal under the Stormwater Drainage Plan as required by the JBLM MS4 Permit. This form is used to track the design and installation of stormwater low impact development best management practices (i.e. bioretention, permeable pavement, rainwater harvesting, etc.) on JBLM.
Visit the military Low Impact Development website to access Army LID Planning tools and resources.
