Springfield : Stormwater management plan

Abstract

The Springfield Stormwater Management Plan (Stormwater Plan) has been developed to provide policy and management guidance for activities affecting stormwater throughout the City of Springfield and its urbanizable area. It is intended to help the City fulfill certain State and Federal water quality requirements, and to meet local water resources management objectives. Through the implementation of the policies and management practices embodied in the Stormwater Plan over time, Springfield hopes to stem the decline of urban stormwater quality that negatively impacts local rivers and streams, and to develop and preserve the urban drainage infrastructure in a manner that meets the community’s needs for years to come.
