Sustainable Site Strategies
A. Minimize impact on watershed1) Preserve natural drainage features,
minimize roofs and paving2) Use pervious surfaces and “green roofs”3) Disperse runoff from impervious
surfaces on to adjacent pervious surfaces
4) Drain impervious surfaces to engineered Best Management Practices (BMPs)
B. Conserve or reuse waterC. Conserve energy
