为了平衡未来发展与生态健康、地表水质量和生活质量之间的关系，堪萨斯州勒内萨市采用了基于流域的综合雨水管理方法。对拟建的孔溪区域雨水滞留湖进行的研究，使用创新的雨水管理技术保护了地表水质量。通过一系列公开审查和与相关公民会面，制定了选定的雨水管理方案。首选方案可降低洪水风险，改善水质，同时提供辅助社区设施。该项目为莱内萨市树立了一个前瞻性的先例。当地雨水管理绩效标准正在修订，以促进更具环境敏感性的现场设计和施工实践。 修订后的标准纳入了水质、最佳管理实践，如生物滞留和其他雨水储存和输送系统的低影响解决方案。该项目展示了湿地、河岸缓冲区和其他最佳管理实践的实际应用，展示了流域管理与改善水质之间的联系。良好规划的流域实践更有可能带来水质效益。本文介绍了用于制定首选雨水管理计划的公共流程、计划的技术属性以及实施时间表。对堪萨斯州莱内萨拟建的孔溪区域雨水滞留湖进行了初步工程研究，开发了几种创新解决方案，用于在快速城市化的环境中管理雨水。 通过与相关公民举行一系列关于该研究的公开审查会议，制定了最终选定的雨水管理备选方案。为实现项目目标，选定的替代方案旨在保护环境质量，降低洪水风险，提供娱乐机会，并以经济的方式创建支持高质量发展的社区设施。选定的替代方案整合了高地最佳管理实践（BMP）、河流恢复和保护以及区域雨水滞留。替代方案提出了一个创新的河内湿地处理系统“眉毛”，以及一系列小型湖泊和湿地，这些湖泊和湿地可以提供滞洪、改善水质、河流流量增加、绿道小径以及解说标志。湖泊和湿地系统还包括湿地和河岸过滤器，以及上游最佳管理实践的安装，如渗透池和侵蚀性侵蚀和沉积物控制实践。 该项目是莱内萨市西部发展中的河流走廊清查和保护工作的一部分。河流廊道的清查和快速生态评估有助于开发一个系统，对每个河流段的河岸栖息地质量进行排名。库恩河流域高地地区和莱内萨其他未开发地区的高质量环境也得到了确认。该项目包括修订APWA第5600节雨水性能标准，以促进更具环境敏感性的现场设计和施工实践。修订后的标准纳入了水质最佳管理实践，如生物滞留和其他雨水储存和输送的“绿色解决方案”。包括数字。

Efforts to balance future development with ecologic health, surface water quality, and quality of life have resulted in an integrated watershed-based approach to storm water management for the City of Lenexa, Kansas. A study of the proposed Coon Creek Regional Storm Water Detention Lake has resulted in the protection of surface water quality using innovative storm water management techniques. Through a series of public reviews and meetings with concerned citizens, the selected storm water management scenario was developed. The preferred plan reduces the risk of flooding and improves water quality while providing ancillary community amenities. The project establishes a forward-looking precedent for the City of Lenexa. Local storm water management performance standards are being revised to facilitate more environmentally sensitive site design and construction practices. The revised standards incorporate water quality, best management practices such as bioretention and other low impact solutions for storm water storage and conveyance systems. Exemplifying the connection between watershed management and improved water quality, this project illustrates practical applications of wetlands, riparian buffers, and other best management practices. Water quality benefits are more likely to result from well-planned watershed practices. This paper presents the public process used to develop the preferred storm water management plan, the technical attributes of the plan, and the schedule for implementation. A preliminary engineering study of the proposed Coon Creek Regional Storm Water Detention Lake in Lenexa, Kansas has resulted in the development of several innovative solutions for management of storm water within a rapidly urbanizing environment. Through a series of public review meetings of the study with concerned citizens, a final selected storm water management alternative was developed. To meet project goals, the selected alternative seeks to conserve environmental quality, reduce the risk of flooding, provide recreational opportunities and create community amenities supportive of quality development in an economical manner. The selected alternative integrates upland best management practices (BMPs), stream restoration and conservation and regional storm water detention. The alternative proposes a system of innovative in-stream wetland treatment "eyebrows" and chain of small lakes and wetlands that provide flood detention, improved water quality, stream flow augmentation, and greenway trails along with interpretive signage. The system of lakes and wetlands also includes wetland and riparian filters as well as the installation of upstream best management practices such as infiltration basins and aggressive erosion and sediment control practices. The project is part of a larger effort to inventory and conserve stream corridors in the developing western portion of the City of Lenexa. The inventory and rapid ecological assessment of stream corridors helped to develop a system to rank riparian habitat quality for each stream segment. High quality environs in the upland areas of the Coon Creek watershed and other undeveloped areas of Lenexa were also identified. The project includes revisions to APWA Section 5600 performance standards for storm water to facilitate more environmentally-sensitive site design and construction practices. The revised standards incorporate water quality best management practices such as bioretention and other "green solutions" for storm water storage and conveyance. Includes figures.
