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 Montana Stormwater Control Ordinance is a regulatory framework implemented by the state of Montana to mitigate the adverse impacts of stormwater runoff on the environment and public health. It aims to manage the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff from developed areas, minimizing pollution and ensuring sustainable management of water resources. Key components of the Montana Stormwater Control Ordinance include requirements for stormwater management plans, the best management practices (BMPs) implementation, erosion and sediment control measures, and monitoring programs. It applies to various types of land development activities, such as construction projects, industrial facilities, commercial developments, and municipal infrastructure. The Montana Stormwater Control Ordinance encompasses several specific types or versions tailored to different sectors or development types: 1. Construction Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance specifically addresses stormwater management requirements for construction activities. It establishes guidelines for erosion and sediment control, stormwater pollution prevention plans, runoff management during construction, and post-construction discharge controls. 2. Industrial Stormwater Control Ordinance: Designed to regulate stormwater runoff from industrial sites and facilities, this ordinance sets forth guidelines for preventing and minimizing pollutants in industrial stormwater discharges. It outlines provisions for monitoring, BMP implementation, spill response plans, and employee training. 3. Municipal Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance focuses on stormwater management planning and regulations for municipal infrastructure. It includes provisions for storm sewer system management, maintenance, and upgrading to prevent flooding, pollution, and erosion impacts. It also encourages the use of green infrastructure practices reducing stormwater runoff volume. 4. Post-Construction Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance offers guidelines for managing stormwater runoff from developed land after construction is completed. It emphasizes the use of BMPs, such as retention and detention ponds, infiltration systems, and vegetated sales, to minimize runoff volume and improve water quality. Montana's Stormwater Control Ordinance prioritizes the prevention of stormwater pollution, preservation of water resources, and protection of aquatic ecosystems. It requires stakeholders, including property developers, municipalities, and industrial operators, to comply with specific stormwater management measures and report their progress regularly. By enforcing these ordinances, Montana aims to ensure sustainable development practices and reduce the long-term environmental impacts of stormwater runoff.
