The Post-Construction Water Quality Plan developed to meet this regulation will be coordinated and combined with the Riparian and Wetland Setback Plan and the Construction Site Conservation Plan that are developed for the same site. These plans will be titled and numbered in one consecutive sequence to make a Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan for the site. The Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan so developed will serve as the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3) required by Ohio EPA as part of the NPDES Storm Water Permit for General Construction.
(Ord. 2009-75. Passed 6-22-09.)
(a) The intent of these regulations is to:
(1) Allow development while reducing damage to receiving water resources and drainage systems that may be caused by new development or redevelopment activities.
(2) Protect and maintain the receiving stream's physical, chemical, biological characteristics and stream functions.
(3) Provide perpetual management of storm water runoff quality and quantity.
(4) Establish consistent technically feasible and operationally practical standards to achieve a level of storm water quantity and quality control that will minimize damage to public and private property and degradation of water resources, and will promote and maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the Community.
(5) Control storm water runoff resulting from soil disturbing activities.
(6) Preserve, to the maximum extent practicable (MEP), the natural drainage characteristics of the building site.
(7) Preserve, to the maximum extent practicable (MEP), natural infiltration and groundwater recharge, and maintain subsurface flow that replenishes water resources, wetlands, and wells.
(8) Assure that storm water quality controls are incorporated into site planning and design at the earliest possible stage.
(9) Reduce the need for costly treatment and mitigation for the damage to and loss of water resources that are the result of inadequate storm water quality control.
(10) Reduce the long-term expense of remedial projects needed to address problems caused by inadequate storm water quality control.
(11) Require the incorporation of water quality protection that encourages and promotes habitat preservation into the construction of storm water management practices.
(12) Ensure that all storm water quality practices are properly designed, constructed, and maintained.
(Ord. 2009-75. Passed 6-22-09.)
Neither submission of a plan under the provisions herein, nor compliance with the provisions of these regulations, shall relieve any person or entity from responsibility for damage to any person or property that is otherwise imposed by law.
(Ord. 2009-75. Passed 6-22-09.)
(a) Where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon land than is imposed or required by other Community provisions of law, ordinance, contract or deed, the provisions of this chapter shall prevail.
(b) If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any clause, section, or provision of these regulations invalid or unconstitutional, the validity of the remainder shall not be affected thereby.
(c) These regulations shall not be construed as authorizing any person to maintain a private or public nuisance on their property. Compliance with the provisions of this regulation shall not be a defense in any action to abate such nuisance.
(d) Failure of the Community to observe or recognize hazardous or unsightly conditions or to recommend corrective measures shall not relieve the owner from the responsibility for the condition or damage resulting there from, and shall not result in the Community, its officers, employees, or agents being responsible for any condition or damage resulting there from. (Ord. 2009-75. Passed 6-22-09.)
