Lincoln Center: Integrating Innovative Stormwater Management Technology into a Mixed Use Community

This paper describes the design concepts being developed for the proposed Lincoln Center site in New Castle County, DE. This project consists of a 56 acre parcel which is being developed as a mixed use commercial, office, and residential center. The project is unique in that it will feature a wide range of innovative LID practices as well as some traditional BMPs. This paper focuses on the site analysis and how the site characteristics dictated the selection of the range of BMPs. In addition this paper will describe the interim guidelines that the County is developing to address the stormwater components of the innovative LID practices.
