Currently, the City of Flagstaff (COF) sets design requirements on all new construction projects to address stormwater runoff quantity and quality. The city requires the use of detention and retention basins which utilize low impact development (LID) techniques in order to control peak discharge rates and runoff water quality within the city. Low impact development techniques aim to preserve pre-development watershed characteristics after the construction of new infrastructure. The purpose of this project is to assess the feasibility drywells as an LID stormwater management structure in Flagstaff.
