(a) Objective. Development or land use in the Village of Mount Gilead should not produce excessive increase in surface water.
(b) Standard. Surface water run-off shall be minimized and detained on-site if possible or practicable. If it is not possible to detain water on-site, downstream improvements to the channel may be required of the developer to prevent flooding caused by such project. The natural state of watercourses, swales, floodways, or rights-of-way shall be maintained as nearly as possible. The design period is the 100-year storm.
