​Structural best management practices - help
mitigate stormwater-related impacts after they
have occurred.  Structural BMP's are decidedly more location specific and explicit in their physical form.		 Nonstructural best management practices​ - these
BMP's prevent stormwater runoff from a site
proactively; more specifically, nonstructural BMP's
take broader planning and design approaches, which are less "structural" in their form.
