The North Central Texas Council of Government (NCTCOG) integrated Stormwater Management (iSWM) Program is a collaborative effort between more than 60 local governments, the iSWM subcommittee, Regional Public Works Council and a consultant team that assists municipalities and counties in addressing stormwater impacts early in the development process and downstream impacts using integrated development process, site design practices and construction criteria. The iSWM Program is comprised of four documents and tools: iSWM Criteria Manual, iSWM Technical Manual, iSWM Tools and iSWM Program Guidance. Recent enhancements to the iSWM Program include reorganization and re-evaluation of site development controls, comprehensive guidance on forebay design, training on construction and maintenance of permeable pavements, detailed guidance on bioretention design and adoption of NOAA Atlas 14. In this presentation, we will provide a general overview of the iSWM Program, present key updates implemented over the past four years and given an overview of how to avoid common areas of noncompliance during the site development through local case studies.
