Description

This is a sample of Municipal Codes when dealing with an ordinance concerning storm water control. This may be used across the United States. The Kansas Stormwater Control Ordinance is a set of regulations and guidelines designed to manage stormwater runoff within the state of Kansas. These ordinances aim to protect the quality of water bodies and prevent pollution caused by stormwater runoff. The Kansas Stormwater Control Ordinance requires property owners and developers to implement stormwater management practices controlling the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff. This includes managing the volume, velocity, and duration of runoff, as well as minimizing pollutants such as sediments, chemicals, and debris that can be carried by stormwater. There are different types of Kansas Stormwater Control Ordinances that apply to various development projects. Some specific types may include: 1. Municipal Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance applies to stormwater management within the jurisdiction of a specific municipality or city in Kansas. It outlines the requirements and responsibilities of property owners and developers in that particular area. 2. Construction Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance focuses on regulating stormwater management during construction activities. It requires the implementation of erosion and sediment control measures, such as the use of erosion control blankets, sediment basins, and silt fences, to prevent sediment runoff into nearby water bodies. 3. Industrial Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance targets stormwater management at industrial sites. It sets specific requirements for industries to manage stormwater runoff, including implementing the best management practices (BMPs) and conducting regular inspections to ensure compliance. 4. Post-Construction Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance addresses stormwater management after construction activities are completed. It requires the installation of permanent stormwater management infrastructure, such as retention ponds, wetlands, or bioswales, to treat and control stormwater runoff from developed areas. Additionally, Kansas Stormwater Control Ordinances often incorporate requirements specified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (THE). These requirements may cover topics such as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NODES) permit program, erosion and sediment control, stormwater pollution prevention plans, and maintenance of stormwater management practices. By implementing and enforcing the Kansas Stormwater Control Ordinance, the state aims to minimize the adverse environmental impacts of stormwater runoff, protect water quality, and ensure sustainable development practices throughout the region.
