(A) It is the goal of the York County Council that the provisions of this chapter will result in reduction of the discharge of pollutants within the York County MS4, those areas of the unincorporated county currently outside of the MS4, and the county’s receiving waters to the maximum extent practicable using management practices, control techniques, system design, engineering methods and such other programs and controls as are required by York County’s NPDES permit.
(B) The application of this chapter, the provisions expressed herein, and the federal and state stormwater regulations, shall provide the minimum stormwater management requirements and shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other ordinances of York County or powers granted to York County by the State of South Carolina statues. The York County Stormwater Management Design Manual contains additional specific stormwater management requirements.
(C) This chapter is also construed to further its purpose of controlling stormwater runoff in York County to reduce flooding using best management practices, control techniques, system design, engineering methods and such other programs and controls as necessary to achieve this goal.
(D) The York County Stormwater Administrator or designee shall be primarily responsible for the coordination and enforcement of the provisions of this chapter, the York County Stormwater Management Program, and York County's MS4 NPDES permit.
