Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Water

DEC, with the assistance of a work group and a contractor, developed a storm water guide for Alaska. Local governments use the guide to set storm water requirements for new development and redevelopment projects. Land developers and development engineers use the guide to help design site plans and determine storm water infrastructure. Businesses and contractors use the guide to help design their storm water pollution prevention plans. The guide is useful for anyone needing guidance on erosion and sediment control for construction areas.

The guide is available as one document in Portable Document Format (PDF), or in several smaller documents.
