(A) The table below is a chart of fees for the review of credits for the city stormwater program. The city credits manual provides the credit policies, credit mechanisms and credit procedures. Additionally, it is important for the designer to use the following documents:
(1) Northern Kentucky Regional Storm Water Management Program Rules and Regulations.
(2) Storm Water Best Management Practices Manual - Sanitation District No. 1 of Northern Kentucky.
(B) In the credits review fee table below, there are three columns; the credit item, the credit sub-item and the review fee. The credit items are the five credit areas:
(1) Water quantity credit;
(2) Water quality credit;
(3) Educational credit;
(4) Gravel credit; and
(5) Water quality LEEDS credit.
(C) The sub-items are in the water quality credit and are the core water quality practices of:
(1) Biofiltration swale;
(2) Bioretention/rain garden;
(3) Extended detention basin (dry pond);
(4) Gravity separator;
(5) Permeable pavement;
(6) Planter box;
(7) Retention basin/wet pond;
(8) Street trees;
(9) Subsurface vaults;
(10) Vegetated filter strip
(D) There are two other items in the sub-item column: Non-core water quality management practices and water quality management practices not listed in the best management practice manual. There are other management practices that are listed in the stormwater best practices manual but are not listed as a part of the core water quality management practices. These practices, while not the primary desire of the city, are still viable and acceptable management practices. The city is also allowing for management practices that are not in the best management practice manual. These practices must be in accordance with good engineering practice and thoroughly reviewed by the Stormwater Technical Advisory Committee.
(E) There are no fees shown for educational credit because the city has adopted the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Water Quality Educational Program. This credit is for public and private educational institutions.
(F) Each of the fees has a similar structure. There is a lump sum first submittal fee to be paid when the application is delivered to the City Clerk. If after the review of the submittal there are no questions or comments and the application is approved and there are no other fees. If, however, the application is not acceptable and additional submittals are required, then an hourly fee will be used to review those submittals.
(G) City stormwater credit review fees.
