LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID)
LeRoy Surveyors & Engineers Inc. is committed to innovative land development practices. We believe Low Impact Development (LID) holds great potential benefits for developers, municipalities and the community.
If you have questions about LID or want to find out if the Low Impact Development approach would be beneficial and feasible for your needs, we invite you to contact Damon DeRosa. LeRoy Surveyors & Engineers Inc. staff members have extensive experience with residential and commercial LID projects, along with municipal regulations regarding LID. Damon can be reached at our office (253) 848-6608 or by email at damon@lseinc.com
Integrated stormwater management and creative site design are the cutting edge for both cities/counties and developers. Adoption of LID codes is increasing in Washington State and across the country. Currently, LID is used in a variety of situations--and is also mandated by code for certain sensitive areas. LID may be a recent development, but it's been proven to be sustainable, solid and advantageous for many purposes. LID can bring financial, environmental and other benefits for public parks, subdivisions, roads and more.
