Onsite Stormwater Detention
On-site Stormwater Detention (OSD) Handbook, 4th Edition The Trust’s OSD policy was developed in conjunction with the four councils and was adopted by each of the councils in November 1991. This Handbook spells out the OSD policy and provides guidance for OSD designers, property owners and others involved with development. Although primarily concerned with the Upper Parramatta River Catchment, the Handbook also shows how the procedure on which the policy is based can be adapted to provide approximate parameters in other locations.	2005	pdf (8000 KB) document can be downloaded in smaller sections on the OSD page
