    In 2019 the Gwinnett County Phase I Large MS4 NPDES Permit required the County to apply new Stormwater Performance Standards for New Development and Redevelopment on or before December 10, 2020. The new Stormwater Performance Standards requires that final design of a construction project includes retention of the first 1.0 inch of rainfall on site. Because of this requirement, an update to the Gwinnett County Stormwater Management Manual (GCSMM) was necessary. In addition to this change, the GCSMM also includes addresses other minor changes. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners adopted Version 2.0 of the GCSMM on 10/6/2020, and it will be effective 12/10/2020.

      • Stormwater Management Manual Version 1, in effect until December 10, 2020
      • Stormwater Management Manual (After December 10, 2020)
