This file provides photos and pre- and post-project runoff data for the Burnsville, MN subdivision development. Similar Chesapeake Watershed examples of projects that step up to the “No-Runoff Challenge” are needed for use in the No-Runoff Challenge Campaign. Please contact Mike Fritz if you have leads to other examples.
This template identifies the information desired to document good examples of new development, redevelopment, and retrofits to existing development that achieve or approximate no runoff.

Over the last several years, American Rivers conducted in-depth research with a variety of local leaders in the Chesapeake Bay region about their understanding of the problems with polluted stormwater runoff, the corresponding solutions, and their response to a variety of message concepts. Based on a series of workshops American Rivers, they have converted these…

The Chesapeake Bay Program Office has developed this strategy to “raise the bar” for stormwater runoff management on developed and developing lands. The strategy presents an aspirational “no-runoff” goal and next steps to document existing and new demonstrations and advocate for a new paradigm for developed lands.
