GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 152.001 SHORT TITLE.
   This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the “City of Corry Stormwater Management Ordinance”.
(Ord. 1508, passed 12-20-2010)
§ 152.002 STATEMENT OF FINDINGS.
   The governing body of the city finds that:
   (A)   Inadequate management of accelerated stormwater runoff resulting from development throughout a watershed increases flood flows and velocities, contributes to erosion and sedimentation, overtaxes the carrying capacity of existing streams and storm sewers, greatly increases the cost of public facilities to convey and manage stormwater, undermines floodplain management and flood reduction efforts in upstream and downstream communities, reduces groundwater recharge, threatens public health and safety and increases non-point source pollution of water resources;
   (B)   A comprehensive program of stormwater management, including reasonable regulation of development and activities causing accelerated runoff, is fundamental to the public health, safety, welfare and the protection of the people of the city and all the people of the state, their resources and the environment;
   (C)   Inadequate planning and management of stormwater runoff resulting from land development and redevelopment throughout a watershed can also harm surface water resources by changing the natural hydrologic patterns; accelerating stream flows (which increase scour and erosion of streambeds and stream banks thereby elevating sedimentation); destroying aquatic habitat; and elevating aquatic pollutant concentrations and loadings such as sediments, nutrients, heavy metals and pathogens. Groundwater resources are also impacted through loss of recharge;
   (D)   Stormwater is an important water resource which provides groundwater recharge for water supplies and base flow of streams, which also protects and maintains surface water quality;
   (E)   Public education on the control of pollution from stormwater is an essential component in successfully addressing stormwater issues;
   (F)   Federal and state regulations require certain municipalities to implement a program of stormwater controls. These municipalities are required to obtain a permit for stormwater discharges from their separate storm sewer systems under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES); and
   (G)   Non-stormwater discharges to municipal separate storm sewer systems can contribute to pollution of waters of the state.
