It is recognized that most streams and drainage channels serving the town do not have sufficient capacity to receive and convey stormwater runoff resulting from continued urbanization. Accordingly, the storage and controlled release of excess stormwater runoff as well as compensation for loss of floodplain storage shall be required for all developments and redevelopments (as defined in Appendix A) located within the town. Release rate requirements, downstream restriction considerations, acceptable outlet, adjoining property impact considerations, and compensatory floodplain storage rates are detailed in the Town of Sellersburg Stormwater Technical Standards.
