Technical Bulletin No 1: Stormwater Design Guidelines for Karst Terrain

Developed as Technical Bulletin No. 1 by the Chesapeake Stormwater Network and partners, this guidance document (June 2009) provides stormwater design recommendations for managing land development in karst terrain across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. It helps engineers, plan reviewers, and local officials reduce risks to infrastructure and groundwater by offering design considerations, regulatory integration guidance, and cautions for development in geologically sensitive karst landscapes.
