**Abstract Text**
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 consultant team that assists municipalities and counties to address stormwater impacts early in the development process and reduce 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.
Halff Associates, Inc. has been working closely with the NCTCOG to complete updates, provide training, technical assistance, and assist in the implementation of the iSWM Design Manual for Site Development and the iSWM Design Manual for Construction. Recent enhancements to the iSWM Program have included 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 and present key updates implemented over the past 4 years.



North Central Texas Council of Governments integrated Stormwater Management Program: Overview and Recent Enhancements (Room 301 A, Tuesday 8th, 3:30pm-5:00pm)

The International Low Impact Development Conference highlights interdisciplinary practice, research, and implementation of Low Impact Development (LID), Green Infrastructure (GI), Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) and Water Sensitive Urban Designs (WSUD). The focus will be on using our past and present understanding of LID to tune management programs, design practice, and operation and maintenance into the future.
