The intent of this chapter is to establish consistent, technically feasible and operationally practical regulations and standards to achieve a level of storm water management, and erosion and sediment control that will minimize damage to public and private property and the degradation of water resources, and will promote and maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Rossford.
The purpose includes, but is not limited, to:
(a) Allow development while minimizing increases in downstream flooding, erosion, and sedimentation.
(b) Reduce water quality impacts to receiving water resources and drainage systems that may be caused by new development or redevelopment activities.
(c) Control storm water runoff resulting from activities disturbing the soil.
(d) Assure that development site owners control the volume and rate of storm water runoff originating from their property so that surface water and ground water are protected, soil erosion is controlled, and flooding potential is not increased.
