The District began its stormwater management program by undertaking several key stormwater management planning activities, including conducting an institutional assessment, creating a new organizational structure, preparing a stormwater management plan, establishing a community participation framework, initiating detailed watershed planning and developing a comprehensive watershed management ordinance.

This pre-planning effort produced a twophased DWP approach that first defined the planning efforts and then developed the plans. The first phase quantified the available data, screened flooding problems, defined methodologies to resolve complex hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) issues, formulated an appropriate alternative analysis approach, and
