§ 153.160.200 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND RAINWATER RETENTION.
   (A)   Stormwater best management practices. Stormwater management practices minimize runoff and increase infiltration which recharges groundwater and improves water quality. Implementing stormwater best management practices into the landscape and grading design plans to minimize runoff and to increase on-site rainwater retention and infiltration are encouraged.
   (B)   Regional Water Quality Control Board. Project applicants shall refer to the Regional Water Quality Control Board for information on any applicable stormwater technical requirements.
   (C)   Friable soil. All planted landscape areas are required to have friable soil to maximize water retention and infiltration.
