The BMP Selection Tool is intended to help educate site designers and developers about some of the important factors associated with the selection of post-construction stormwater BMPs for a given site.  Volume control, groundwater protection, and pollution reduction are growing concerns in Central Indiana.  Each of these, as well as other factors make some BMPs more applicable to certain sites and more successful tools for water quality protection. 

To better understand the role of the various factors shown below as icons, click the ‘Details’ box.  Information will appear to help you understand whether it is something you need/want to consider.  If that factor is important to your goals, simply click the small box below to select it.  A given BMPs ability to address that particular factor will be reflected by its presence/absence in the BMP remaining in the list on the right.  Continue checking the boxes of other factors that represent your site conditions or objectives and watch the list narrow further.  When you want to know more about a BMP that appears in the list, click on it.  Fact sheet style information will appear for that BMP including some O&M guidance for that BMP.  If you select a combination of factors that leads you to a very narrow list of BMPs or none at all, simply reconsider your selected factors and prioritize those that are most pressing.  Try some different combinations – Enjoy and please be thoughtful about what you are designing!
