==Using the wiki version of the flow chart==
 +
The wiki version of the flow chart takes you through a series of questions and steps to ultimately arrive at a performance goal.  The wiki version does not necessarily take you through each step shown in the pdf version of the flow chart.  The structure of the wiki version differs from the pdf version of the flow chart.  You can see the structure used for the wiki version at [[List of flow chart questions|this link]].
  
 
If you proceed through the flow chart using the wiki, we recommend you create a book to document the steps in the process.

Off-site mitigation (including banking or cash or treatment on another project, as determined by the local authority) equivalent to the volume reduction performance goal can be used in areas selected in the following order of preference:
 
#Locations that yield benefits to the same receiving water that receives runoff from the original construction activity.
 
#Locations within the same Department of Natural Resources (DNR) catachment area as the original construction activity.
 
#Locations in the next adjacent DNR catchment area up-stream.
 
#Locations anywhere within the local authoritie's jurisdiction.

Latest revision as of 23:37, 6 December 2022

A flow chart was developed to determine the appropriate performance goal or Flexible Treatment Option for a new development, redevelopment, or linear site. You may access a pdf version of the flow chart (File:Final MIDS Flow chart.pdf) or follow the flow chart through the sequence of questions using the Manual website.

If you would like a copy of the flowchart in Visio, so that you can edit it, please contact us.
