(a) In order to control flooding, erosion and water quality, the owner shall be responsible for developing a SWQM Plan. If applicable, the owner or operator shall also obtain an Ohio EPA NPDES Storm Water General Permit and shall abide by its requirements in addition to an approved SWQM Plan from the Community. In situations of conflict between Ohio EPA requirements and Community requirements, the most stringent shall apply.
(b) If the construction site is subject to Ohio EPA’s NPDES Storm Water General Permit, a copy of all the required inspection sheets shall be maintained per Ohio EPA requirements. Copies of the inspection sheets shall be submitted to the Community within two (2) working days of the request.
(c) The SWQM Plan shall be designed, signed and sealed by a professional engineer registered in the State of Ohio.
(d) The Storm Water Quantity Management Plan shall incorporate measures as recommended by the most current edition of Rainwaterand Land Development or other recognized design manuals approved by the City of Fairview Park Engineer, and shall include the following information:
(1) A project description including the type and purpose of soil disturbing activities and a description of the larger common plan of development if applicable.
(2) A vicinity sketch locating the site, and the larger common plan of development or sale if applicable, and all pertinent surrounding features within 200 feet of the site including wetlands, streams, steep slopes, and other sensitive areas receiving runoff from the development area.
(3) The name and location of the immediate receiving water resource and the first subsequent named receiving water resource and the major watershed(s) in which the project is located.
(4) The existing and proposed topography shown in one foot contour intervals for flat areas and two foot contour intervals in steeper areas.
(5) The location and description of existing and proposed drainage patterns and storm water management practices, including any related storm water management practices beyond the development area and the larger common development area. Drainage patterns during major phases of construction shall also be shown as appropriate.
(6) Existing and proposed watershed boundary lines, direction of flow, and watershed acreage.
(7) The types and locations of soils within or affected by the development area, including unstable soils as determined by the most recent edition of the Cuyahoga County Soil Survey and/or field investigations performed by Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water Conservation District personnel, a professional engineer, or a professional soil scientist. The Soil Survey and interpretive assistance can be obtained from the Cuyahoga County SWCD.
(8) Storm water management practices to be employed on the development area both during and after soil disturbing activities, including:
A. Their location and size, including detail drawings, maintenance requirements during and after construction, and design calculations. A narrative report containing information required by and in a format acceptable to the City Engineer shall be provided.
B. The name, address, and contact information of the person responsible for the continued operation and maintenance of storm water management practices.
C. A calculation of the percent impervious cover for both the pre- development and post-development site conditions.
D. Final site conditions including storm water inlets and permanent nonstructural and structural storm water management practices. Details of storm water management basins shall be drawn to scale and shall allow volumes and sizes of contributing drainage areas.
E. Any other structural and/or non-structural storm water management practices necessary to meet the design criteria in this regulation and other referenced regulations.
F. Description of maintenance procedures needed to assure the continued performance of storm water management practices as required in this regulation and other referenced regulations.
G. All other runoff information or supporting information required to conform with the storm water management design criteria detailed in this regulation and other referenced regulations.
(e) Inspection and Maintenance Agreement between the City and the applicant which meets the standards set forth in Section 1337.08(b) and contains the following information and provisions:
(1) Detail drawings that include the location of each storm water quantity management practice. Maintenance plans must be provided for all post- construction best management practices (BMPs).
(2) A schedule for regular maintenance for each aspect of the storm water management system to ensure continued performance of that system as is detailed in the Storm Water Quantity Management Plan. This schedule may include additional standards, as required by the City Engineer, to ensure the continued performance of the storm water management practices.
(3) Identification of the person or entity responsible for continued maintenance of all vegetative and/or mechanical BMPS for both the construction and post-construction phase of the development project.
(4) The plan will identify the person or entity financially responsible for maintaining the permanent inspection and maintenance of the permanent storm water conveyance and storage structures and other conservation practices.
(5) The method of ensuring that funding will be available to conduct the long term maintenance and inspections of all permanent storm water quantity management practices will be identified.
(6) Identification of all easements.
