Definitions
Hydromodification – Alterations to the patterns and processes of runoff and sediment from a watershed into its receiving waters as a result of land-use changes; and that generally produce changes to the physical, chemical, and/or biological condition(s) of those receiving waters.Hydromodification control – generally focused on stormwater management approaches to address changes to the watershed processes that directly affect receiving waters (e.g., surface runoff, infiltration, erosion).The Hydromodification Control “Methodology” – As pertains to the Region 3 Joint Effort, the steps that must be conducted to determine the best stormwater management controls for new and redevelopment projects.Hydromodification control criteria – numeric stormwater management objectives applied to new and redevelopment projects.Watershed processes – as used in the Joint Effort, those processes and functions that occur at the water/land interface that affect the receiving waters (e.g., surface runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, erosion, sediment delivery).Performance-based stormwater management – A mode of management that has definable outcomes that can be measured.

Project Goals and Guiding Principles
The intent of this project is to “manage stormwater” by protecting and/or reestablishing watershed processes (physical, chemical, and biological). The criteria for measuring successful management must be performance-based.Management prescriptions must be both scientifically supported and readily implemented.The products must provide both parcel-specific and watershed-scale benefits to municipalities and the Board—by supporting all watershed-based programs.
