Part 3: Nonstructural Strategies and LID-BMPs in Design 3.1 Vegetation and Landscaping Effective management of both existing and proposed site vegetation can reduce a development’s adverse impacts on groundwater recharges and runoff quality and quantity. This section of the checklist helps identify the vegetation and landscaping strategies and nonstructural LID-BMPs that have been incorporated into the proposed development’s design to help maintain existing recharge rates and/or minimize or prevent increases in runoff quantity and pollutant loading. A. Has an inventory of existing site vegetation been performed? Yes: No: X If yes, was this inventory a factor in the site’s layout and design? Yes: No: B. Does the site design utilize any of the following nonstructural LID-BMPs? Preservation of natural areas? Yes: No: X If yes, specify % of site: Native ground cover? Yes: No: X If yes, specify % of site: Vegetated buffers? Yes: No: X If yes, specify % of site: C. Do the land development regulations require these nonstructural LID-BMPs? Preservation of natural areas? Yes: No: X If yes, specify % of site: Native ground cover? Yes: No: X If yes, specify % of site: Vegetated buffers? Yes: No: X If yes, specify % of site: D. If vegetated filter strips or buffers are utilized, specify their functions: Reduce runoff volume increases through lower runoff coefficient: Yes: No: Reduce runoff pollutant loads through runoff treatment: Yes: No: Maintain groundwater recharge by preserving natural areas: Yes: No: New Jersey Stormwater BMP Manual • Appendix A: Low Impact Development Checklist • February 2004 • Page A-5
