Drainage Criteria Manual

The Drainage Criteria Manual focuses on drainage criteria and submittal requirements for master, preliminary and final drainage studies. There are also sections that discuss water quality, as well as erosion and sediment control. This manual is used in planning and design stages because most development requires that resultant drainage is considered part of the planning and design.
