indicated.
(b) "environmental site design technique" means a technique
used in a site design strategy intended to maintain or replicate the

natural hydrologic runoff characteristics and minimize the impact
of land development on water resources.

(c) "Environmental site design technique" includes:
(1) Optimizing conservation of natural features, such

(3) Slowing down runoff to maintain discharge timing
and to increase infiltration and evapotranspiration; and
(4) Using at the source integrated control techniques,
such as bioretention, vegetated swales, and infiltration devices;
and
(5) Using pollution prevention measures to reduce the
