Title
A substitute ordinance relating to runoff discharge quality control regulations.
Sections
120-7-6 rc
Analysis
Currently, the code requires 80% suspended solids removal for all new development and redevelopment projects which are required to submit storm water management plans. In order to be consistent with s. NR 151.12(5)(a) 1 to 4, Wis. Adm. Code, this ordinance reduces to 40% the percentage of suspended solids removal required for redevelopment projects and any in-fill development project under 5 acres that occurs within 10 years after October 1, 2002. The 80% suspended solids removal requirement is maintained for new development projects, and for in-fill development under 5 acres that occurs 10 or more years after October 1, 2002.

a-3. For in-fill development under 5 acres that occurs within 10 years after October 1, 2002, by design, reduce to the maximum extent practicable, the total suspended solids load by 40%,...
