It is recognized that most streams and drainage channels serving Boone County do not have sufficient capacity to receive and convey stormwater runoff resulting from continued urbanization. Accordingly, the storage and controlled release of excess stormwater runoff as well as compensation for loss of floodplain storage and prevention of increased flooding and erosion risks to others shall be required for all developments and redevelopments (as defined in § 153.006) located within Boone County. Release rate requirements, downstream restriction considerations, acceptable outlet, adjoining property impact considerations, compensatory floodplain storage requirements, and requirements associated with dams and levees are detailed in the Boone County Stormwater Technical Standards Manual.
