Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS) represent the next generation of stormwater management in Minnesota. The emphasis today is on keeping the raindrop where it falls in order to minimize stormwater runoff and pollution and preserve natural resources. Low Impact Development (LID) is an approach to stormwater management that mimics a site’s natural hydrology as the landscape is developed and preserves and protects environmentally-sensitive site features such as riparian buffers, wetlands, steep slopes, valuable (mature) trees, floodplains, woodlands and highly permeable soils. The MIDS project offers guidelines, recommendations, and tools that will help implement LID more uniformly across Minnesota's landscape and it provides guidance to effectively implement the concepts and practices that LID promotes and encourages. MIDS contains four main elements to meet these needs:
- stormwater volume performance goals for new development, redevelopment and linear projects;
- new credit calculations that standardize the use of a range of structural stormwater techniquies;
- design specifications for a variety of green infrastructure best management practices (BMP's); and
- an ordinance guidance package to help developers and communities implement MIDS.
This page provides links to pages that provide information on Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS). This includes overview information, the MIDS Calculator and associated pages, performance goals and associated pages, examples and case studies, and more.
