Low-impact development (LID) designs reduce development costs through smart site design by all of the following except:

Decreasing the use of storm drain piping, inlet structure
Reducing roadways, curbs, and gutters
Eliminating or decreasing the size of large storm water ponds
Planning for steeper grades to increase the runoff travel time

Explanation

Answer - D - Planning for steeper grades to increase the runoff travel time is not one of the LID design strategies through smart site design to control storm water runoff. LID’s multifunctional site design elements include alternative storm water management practices as functional landscaping, open drainage swales, reducing imperviousness, and flatter grades.
