Other than storm water detention, what requirements do you have for storm water quality treatment?
The Division of Development Review is currently working on a draft for requirements to treat the runoff from 90% of the recorded daily rainfall events (water quality volume – equivalent to 1.14” of rainfall) and to maintain the pre-development hydrology in post-construction storm water runoff. Treatment for water quality volume will be required for sites needing conditional use permits (where applicable). Incentives to provide treatment for water quality volume are also being offered in the form of a reduction or elimination of detention requirements and variances to eliminate or reduce infrastructure (such as storm sewer and curb & gutter). Maintenance agreements are required to be executed and recorded by the owners of private facilities and maintenance specifications are required to be incorporated into the subdivision covenants & restrictions for residential developments making the maintenance the responsibility of the homeowners association. Section 420.020 of the County Code regulates requirements for the maintenance of such storm water quality facilities and gives the county the authority to inspect and enforce this maintenance.
