 ====== Dane County Stormwater Manual ======
+This manual is designed to help landowners, developers and designers meet the requirements of Dane County's erosion control and stormwater management ordinance and aid in the permit process.
-This manual is designed to help landowners, developers and consultants meet the requirements of Dane County's [[Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Ordinance]] and aid in the permit process.
+The manual includes information on why erosion control and stormwater management is needed, [[permit information]], plan preparation and approved management practices.  This is not an all-inclusive manual, so users will still need to reference other technical guidance.

 More information on erosion, how it's regulated and control practices can be found on the [[Erosion Control]] page.
-Guidance on how to meet the 5.0 tons/ac/year soil loss standard using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) can be found on the [[Soil Loss and Sediment Discharge]] page.

+Before dredging an agricultural ditch, repairing/placing tile, or breaking out new land, please read this {{:wiki:images:ditch_tile_checklist.pdf|checklist}} to determine if you need an erosion control permit.
 ===== Stormwater Management =====
+Development and increase of impervious areas, like rooftops and parking lots, dramatically affects the hydrologic cycle by increasing the amount of water that runs off the ground surface, which carries pollutants to our surface waters. More surface runoff increases flooding frequency and severity while also degrading water quality and aquatic habitat.
+More information on the hydrologic cycle, how stormwater is regulated and control practices can be found on the [[Stormwater Management]] page.
+All stormwater management practices must be regularly inspected and maintained to remain effective at treating stormwater. Information on how to maintain stormwater practices can be on the [[Stormwater Maintenance]] page.
+Below is a list of other pages related to stormwater management.
+  * [[Infiltration Modeling]] and [[Infiltration Guidance]]
+  * [[Basin Efficiency]]
+  * [[Green Infrastructure]]
+  * [[Redevelopment]]
+  * [[As Built Certification|As-Built Certification]]
+===== Management Practices =====
+Meeting ordinance requirements will require careful planning and use of approved management practices. The plan designer should communicate with the landowner and contractor to choose practices that work best for the site.
+A list of all approved practices can be found on the [[Management Practices]] page.
