Visual Guide to Stormwater Management: StormwaterAuthority.org
Whether you're a stormwater engineer, site owner/developer, contractor, or stormwater educator, you're going to like StormwaterAuthority.org, a Web site that's a compendium of national information on stormwater from the U.S. EPA, the Center for Watershed Protection, USDA, USGS, and state governments.

Beside BMP information, the Web site offers a regulatory link (at the top) which takes you to a state-by-state analysis of stormwater regulation. It's a good way to compare regulatory approaches and compare state regs with national ones. Minnesota's page is well organized.

Check out their library! It's loaded on all sorts of topics ... from SWPPPs to TMDLs. Their site is a cool blue color and looks professional. One neat feature is the BMP selector function for 'construction' and 'post-construction' BMPs:A list of BMPs for construction sites (above) leads to pages with descriptions (below).
