Wenk Asociates developed a multi-functional stormwater framework plan, as well as stormwater guidelines, for Howard Bend Levee District. The district is an 8000-acre region, on the Missouri River, in the St. Louis metropolitan area with limited development potential due to flood danger. A key consideration with this planning effort was the manner in which the stormwater storage and conveyance system can help shape and create desirable development patterns, become a key part of the community's recreational and civic open space, and restore natural ecological processes. Prototypical development types have prepared for various land uses to illustrate potential and recommended best management practices (BMPs).
