Illinois Urban Manual

Section 9 - References

Back to Table of Contents

This section contains selected references in the fields of stormwater management, floodplain management, soil erosion and sediment control, and wetland and stream protection.  Several of the references were used in the preparation of previous editions of this manual.  The references that were chosen to be included are representative of materials that could be reviewed if a unit of government, consultant, or private citizen was interested in learning more about these subjects, or wanted to develop guidance or a regulatory mechanism (e.g., ordinance) to address these issues.

As new conservation practice standards are added to the manual, specific references used to prepare the standards will be included within the standard itself.

This section was revised in October 2001.
