Storm Water Design Manual
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Design Manual provides technical and engineering procedures to assist in the design and evaluation of stormwater management facilities in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. It provides engineering design guidance to:
- local agencies responsible for implementing the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Management Program
- engineers responsible for the design of stormwater management structures
- developers involved in site planning and design
- others involved in stormwater management at various levels who may find the manual useful as a technical reference to define and illustrate engineering design techniques
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services is currently in the process of updating the Storm Water Design Manual. As part of this process, there will be an opportunity for public review and comment. For information, please visit the Storm Water Services Public Comments webpage.
