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 Mecklenburg North Carolina Stormwater Control Ordinance is a set of regulations designed to manage and control stormwater runoff in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. It aims to protect water quality, prevent flooding, and promote sustainable development practices. The ordinance applies to various projects and activities that generate stormwater runoff, such as construction projects, land development, and industrial activities. The Mecklenburg North Carolina Stormwater Control Ordinance outlines specific requirements and standards that property owners, developers, and contractors must adhere to in order to minimize the negative impacts of stormwater runoff. It mandates the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for stormwater management, which include strategies to control erosion, reduce pollutant discharges, and manage stormwater volume and velocity. One important aspect of the ordinance is the requirement for stormwater management plans. Property owners and developers must submit a stormwater management plan for development projects exceeding one acre in size or projects that involve a disturbance to land. The plan must outline strategies for stormwater control, erosion and sedimentation control, water quality protection, and post-construction stormwater management. There are different types of Mecklenburg North Carolina Stormwater Control Ordinance, which include: 1. Construction Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance applies to construction projects and requires the implementation of erosion and sedimentation control measures to prevent the transport of sediment and other pollutants into water bodies during construction activities. 2. Post-Construction Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance focuses on controlling stormwater runoff from developed sites. It requires the implementation of structural and non-structural BMPs to manage stormwater quantity and quality after construction is completed. 3. Industrial Stormwater Control Ordinance: This ordinance applies to industrial facilities and regulates stormwater discharges from these sites. It aims to minimize the discharge of pollutants associated with industrial activities and requires the implementation of pollution prevention measures. Overall, the Mecklenburg North Carolina Stormwater Control Ordinance serves as a comprehensive framework to manage and control stormwater runoff within the county, ensuring the protection of water resources and maintaining a sustainable environment.
