Questions
Stormwater Maintenance Plan: what people ask
Why does the city care about my pond?
Towns under a small MS4 permit must ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of post-construction stormwater controls on development of 1 acre or more.
Which projects are covered?
New development and redevelopment that disturb 1 acre or more, including smaller projects that are part of a larger common plan, and that discharge into the town's storm sewer.
Does upkeep matter for fee discounts?
In DC it does: RiverSmart Rewards requires practices to be actively maintained, and DOEE may deny practices that aren't fully installed or working.
