Environmental Site Plans and Development Review

The most effective way to participate in land stewardship and environmental management is to get involved in the review of proposed developments, where the site plan itself is the primary tool for understanding the proposal.This volume provides a general guide to design, infrastructure, and environmental issues, what a reviewer needs to know about them, and how to interpret them, pointing the reader to accessible, low-cost resources to aid in the review process. In these times of climate change, rising populations, and economic turmoil, there is a real need for informed participants to insist on efficient and environmentally-responsible developments.
