UFC 3-210-10 (current as of 28 August 2023) is CANCELLED [UFC 3-210-10 Cover Page].

This document, titled "Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) Low Impact Development," was prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, and Air Force Civil Engineer Center. It superseded the prior version dated June 2015 [UFC 3-210-10 Record of Changes].

However, despite its cancellation status, UFC 3-210-10 remains referenced as applicable guidance in current Air Force and DoD publications. Programmers must ensure projects adhere to UFC 3-210-10 for Low Impact Development criteria [DAFI 32-1020 para 2.7], and installations must comply with UFC 3-210-10 requirements for stormwater management [DAFMAN 32-1067 para 6.2]. Additionally, UFC 3-201-01 directs users to reference UFC 3-210-10 for Low Impact Development criteria in building design [UFC 3-201-01 para 4715.05].

For the official status and any superseding guidance, consult AFCEC or the Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG).
