National Stormwater Calculator - Check It Out!
   
A new desktop tool from the EPA, the National Stormwater Calculator, estimates the amount of annual stormwater runoff from specific sites given site-specific parameters.  The user chooses various types of low-impact development controls to alter estimates and obtain information that could help manage stormwater runoff.  Useful to site devel­opers, homeowners, or landscapers, this tool and more information can be found at:

I'm told the following website is an excellent resource to educate your homeowners about stormwater ponds.
