This Guidebook has been created as part of the effort to encourage the use of site design measures that benefit water quality in project designs. It is intended to serve as a reference during the conceptual design and review stage and to be used by both project applicants and municipal staff. This document provides examples of innovative site design elements, primarily in the Santa Clara Valley. In some instances, exceptional sites outside of the Santa Clara Valley but within the greater Bay Area are also used to illustrate the wide variety of techniques that are available.
