This manual was initiated by the City of Charleston to be proactive in stormwater management and to set a shining example as the Capitol City of West Virginia. The intent of this manual is to provide a document that could be easily understood by its end users and provide an introduction to a new era of innovative stormwater management techniques. It will help users identify and implement the use of best management practices to protect our water resources from impacts associated with stormwater runoff. These practices are designed to address the unique site conditions that exist within our region.
