The City of Colorado Springs Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 2 (DCMV2) was adopted
as El Paso County's stormwater quality design criteria, with the intent to use Appendix
I of the El Paso County's Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM) to provide additions and
revisions applicable to the County in order to expand its scope to cover rural areas
and other situations specific to the County. The goal has been to maintain consistency
between criteria used in the County and in the City of Colorado Springs. Please refer
to section 1.3 of Appendix I of the ECM for additional clarification.
