The Village of Edgerton has adopted Storm Water Management Rules and Regulations to establish feasible and economically reasonable standards to achieve a level of management and conservation practices which will protect and safeguard the general health, safety and welfare of the public by abating erosion of the soil and abating the degradation of the waters of the state by soil sediment in conjunction with non-farm, earth-disturbing activities.
It is the intent of these rules and regulations to:
(a) Minimize increases in storm water runoff from any development in order to reduce flooding, siltation, increases in stream temperature, and streambank erosion and maintain the integrity of stream channels;
(b) Minimize increases in nonpoint source pollution caused by storm water runoff from developments which would otherwise degrade local water quality;
(c) Minimize the total annual volume of surface water runoff which flows from any specific site during and following development to not exceed the pre-development hydrologic condition to the maximum extent practicable;
(d) Reduce storm water runoff rates and volumes, soil erosion and nonpoint source pollution, wherever possible, through storm water management controls and to ensure that these management controls are properly maintained and pose no threat to public safety;
(e) Establish a basis for the design of all storm drainage systems which will preserve the rights and options of property owners and help assure the long term adequacy of storm drainage systems. (Ord. 864. Passed 5-4-09.)
