Post-construction stormwater management (PCSWM) ensures long-term measures, including structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs), are implemented to prevent water quality impacts and maintain pre-construction runoff conditions. Structural BMPs such as detention devices, rain gardens, porous pavement, and constructed wetlands are supported alongside non-structural measures like conservation easements and stream buffers. Plans must address design for up to a 25-year storm event, long-term maintenance responsibilities, and annual inspections.
