Tools
RAN55 model - RAN Stormwater BMP Evaluator Tool (Version 1.3) is a tool designed specifically for cost-benefit analysis of Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) and Low Impact Designs (LID) in Vermont. It is based on the well known TR-55 model and incorporates the regulations found in Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Stormwater Management Manual (3rd Edition - April 2002). The model's analysis of rainfall-runoff for peak flow rates and BMP/LID cost-benefit can be used anywhere in the Northeast, as these data and calculations are applicable region-wide.
