Explanation
Stormwater management addresses the quantity and quality of runoff from developed properties. Illinois requires developers to manage stormwater through detention/retention basins, permeable surfaces, green infrastructure, or other Best Management Practices (BMPs). Inadequate stormwater management can lead to flooding of neighboring properties, regulatory violations, and permit denials. Local municipalities and county governments regulate stormwater in Illinois.
