(A) Finding. The Stormwater Board finds that the original stormwater drainage facilities constructed within the developed areas of the county have become inadequate or of limited use because of aging, neglect, encroachment, pollution, changing of topography of the drainage area, lack of maintenance, and that immediate steps need to ensure that the purposes of the Stormwater Board relating to stormwater drainage are accomplished.
(B) Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to:
(1) Prevent the degradation of the stormwater drainage facilities within the county;
(2) Correct problems associated with encroachment of constructed improvements in drainage easements;
(3) Correct problems associated with uncontrolled vegetative growth within drainage easements; and
(4) To protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of persons within the county by improving stormwater drainage in order to minimize standing water that could provide a habitat for the proliferation of insects that are potential carriers of diseases affecting the residents of the county.
