Resolution No. 1994-8
Version 7.4 plus 7.5 revisions approved July 1994
INTRODUCTION
Section 1. GENERAL STATEMENT.
The Authority will serve a public use and will promote the health, safety, prosperity, security and general welfare of the inhabitants within its territory.
The protection of life and property from flood damage shall be considered to be the Authority’s primary objective in the planning, design, construction and maintenance of storm drainage facilities.
Subsidiary concerns, not limited to the following, include: watershed characteristics, sediment control, maintenance, multiple use, and appearance. The needs of the community in transportation, utility service, recreation, and open space shall be considered in the selection of watercourse and floodplain treatments. The Authority encourages consideration of such alternatives to lined storm drainage facilities as watershed management, natural or naturalistic watercourses, the prudent line and stabilized flood zones.
The Authority recognizes the interactions within the hydrologic system. Human activities such as storm drainage, irrigation, groundwater usage and recharge, and urban development may influence one another. The Authority will pursue its objective from a comprehensive hydrologic perspective. I
In general, both public and privately-built storm drainage facilities will be designed to 25 accommodate the 100-year runoff. However, the Board of Directors may require a more conservative design where the consequence of failure could be severe. Minor storm drainage facilities, such as storm sewers, streets and detention basins having adequate downstream capacity, may be designed to accommodate less than the 100-year runoff, in accordance with criteria adopted by public entities within their respective jurisdictions, and by the Executive Engineer of the Authority within other areas.
The Authority commits itself to cooperate with other public entities and with private developers to the end that urbanization proceeds in a responsible manner without unnecessary economic burden.
The Authority shall develop and update annually a schedule of Authority funded projects. The Authority encourages other public agencies to do likewise.
The standards set forth in this policy are intended to protect the capacity of existing watercourses, and to insure storm drainage facility capacity under full development.
Section 2. BOUNDARIES.

DEVELOPMENT/ENFORCEMENT
Section 4. DRAINAGE POLICY STATEMENT.
Except as permitted by this policy, the natural topography, drainage pattern and perviousness of any lot, tract or parcel of land within the territory of the Authority may not be altered by grading, filling, excavating, or subdividing.
Section 5. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS
A. ALTERATION.
Alteration described in Section 4 will be permitted if it is shown that, in the event a design storm occurs upon such lot, tract, or parcel, the following standards will be met:
- The storm surface waters emanating from higher lands and drainage through or along such lot, tract or parcel in a storm drainage facility will pass through said property in the storm drainage facility at a rate of flow, velocity, quantity and location which does not exceed the capacity of the storm drainage facilities on said property and the property downstream, or such waters will be able to pass through said property in the storm drainage facility at a rate of flow, velocity, and location of discharge reasonable similar to that which existed before such alteration.
- The storm water runoff from such lot, tract, or parcel will discharge from such property 4 into, and in such manner which will not exceed the capacity of storm drainage facilities downstream; or, will discharge from such property at a rate of flow; velocity and location reasonably similar to that which existed before such alteration. Reasonable similarity should exist for both the design runoff and runoff from more frequent events.
The standards set forth in subparagraph A1) are intended to protect existing watercourses and floodplains when the alteration is by encroachment. The standards set forth in subparagraph A2) are intended to prevent the allowable capacity of existing floodplain and storm drainage facilities from being exceeded as a result of the alteration.
B. RUNOFF CONCENTRATION OR DIVERSION.
If A1) and A2) are otherwise complied with and if no hazard is created and no damage will ensue, storm water runoff may be concentrated and diverted so that it enters a storm runoff facility at a different location. Storm drainage facilities, satisfactory to the public body, shall be designed and built for such concentration or diversion. If diversion or concentration crosses private lands, an easement, satisfactory to the public body shall be furnished.
C. DECISIONS.
Determinations of reasonable similarity, satisfactory diversions, facilities, easements and other decisions or waivers permitted or required herein shall be made by the Executive Engineer or the Designee in accordance with locally applicable general engineering and public safety practices.
D. COSTS.
Where the landowner desires changes to a floodplain or a watercourse, the cost of such modification or alteration, including entrance and exit structures and right-of-way acquisition, shall be paid for by the owner, except where a public project, which would accomplish such modification or alteration, has already been authorized and funded. The design to modify or alter a floodplain or watercourse shall be approved and construction monitored by the Executive Engineer or its Designee.
E. EMINENT DOMAIN.
The Board of Directors of the Authority may authorize eminent domain proceedings to acquire right-of-way for drainage improvement plans which will be implemented at private expense, but owned by a public body.
Section 6. MANDATORY COMPLIANCE WITH POLICY
Failure of any public body to adopt, administer, or enforce this policy shall not excuse any person or business from compliance with this policy. Compliance with this policy will not relieve any person, business, or public body from any legal duty they may have to handle storm water runoff in a manner which will not cause damage to any person or property.
Section 7. REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT.
No plat, replat, summary plat, development plan or subdivision of any land within the territory of the Authority may be approved by the governing authority of a public body without written approval of the Executive Engineer or the Designee. The enactment and implementation of the provisions of this policy is the responsibility of the Designee of the public body through its normal application review, approval and appeal process.
