The Design Manual identifies a single set of standards, submittal requirements and approval procedures to be used in the planning and design of projects within the MSD service area. The MSD Design Manual is a guide for the planning and design of stormwater systems, flood protection works, sanitary sewers, erosion control structures, small sanitary pump stations, small wastewater treatment plants and associated activities MSD. The GMPs should be considered as a list of tools and should be implemented based on the site conditions and stormwater management needs to comply with Clean Water Act, post-construction stormwater water quality and quantity requirements. These GMPs are designed to infiltrate rain water into the ground rather than it running into MSD’s combined sewers or the community’s waterways. Green infrastructure is a term commonly applied to stormwater GMPs such as pervious pavement, rain gardens and bioswales. MSD is promoting GMPs to supplement traditional development and construction methods to encourage environmental sustainability and economic growth.
Green Management Practices (GMP) Manual A new addition to the MSD Design Manual is Chapter 18, Green Management Practices (GMP) Manual. Instead, drawings are available for download at the bottom of this page. All comments will be reviewed.įor your information, MSD is not providing copies of these drawings in digital form on a CD. It is important that the users make recommendations for changes to the details or suggest the creation of new details. There will be revisions and additions from time to time. The drawings are meant to be flexible documents. Standard Drawing details should be referenced by number on the plans.
Any modification from a standard should be shown as a separate detail within the set of plans. The appropriate drawings need to be referenced with each project within the Special Provisions and drawings. The details are expected to be used as presented, but modifications may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
These details are for use with MSD designed projects and for private development design. MSD has updated its acceptable Standard Drawings.
