Light Imprint Handbook: Integrating Sustainability & Community Design
  • Website: www.LightImprint.org
  • Utilizes 60 techniques for:
      • Paving streets and sidewalks
      • Channeling and storing water
      • Filtering surface runoff
  • Mitigates environmental impacts
  • Makes communities more beautiful and livable
  • Pedestrian-friendly design
  • Economical results
light imprint approach
Light Imprint Approach
  • Compact and connected design
  • Respects nature and existing site terrain
  • Emphasizes importance of public civic spaces
  • Addresses stormwater runoff through:
      • Natural drainage
      • Innovative infiltration practices
      • Incorporated with conventional engineering, as needed
  • Breakdown of site into transects
      • Four LID categories: Paving, Channelizing, Storage, & Filtration
      • Urban to Rural

  • Provides information on:
    • Appropriateness of BMPs
    • Initial Costs
    • Long-term maintenance factors
    • Soil: Poor Drainage (Rock /Clay); Medium Drainage (Silt/Loam); Good Drainage (Loam/Sand)
    • Slope conditions: Flat (0 – 8 %); Moderate (8 – 15 %); Steep (>15 %)
    • Climate: Cold; Temperate; Hot; Dry; Moderately Wet; Wet
