Best Management Practices

Best management practices (BMPs) are measures designed to manage excess stormwater runoff and prevent degradation and enhance overall water quality. These measures manage stormwater quality through the control, capture, and treatment of stormwater pollutants, ensure erosion and sediment control, and provide aesthetic benefits in many cases.
