Synopsis

Once a simple process, land development has become an art and science fundamental to urban economies. This process has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. The impacts of land development on the environment, transportation, infrastructure and quality of life are now common issues about which everyone is concerned. Environmental issues regarding erosion and sediment control, storm water management, water quality, wetlands and hazardous waste fall under local, state and federal controls to varying degrees. These controls along with the design and approval process, have drastically changed the techniques of land development. The professional practicing in this changing environment must be familiar with all issues involved with design, regulations and environmental aspects impacting land development design. In essence, this work is a comprehensive "How-to" book designed for those involved with planning, engineering and surveying in land development design.
