• Urban areas need to start controlling runoff in regional facilities to retrofit areas that were developed in the past before regulations were established and accommodate current and future needs.

• A tool-kit of best practices and options could be prepared to help communities select the right choices for their individual issues and needs.

• A common ordinance template could be prepared to create consistency between different communities.

• Ordinances should consider stormwater control within private property for both sub-division and commercial development.

• Roadway projects can increase the peak runoff and velocities without the appropriate stormwater best management practice, and should be included as part of the regional solution.
