Philadelphia Stormwater Regulations Sample Clauses

Philadelphia Stormwater Regulations. The Philadelphia Stormwater Regulation revisions of 2006 address more than the typical peak runoff rate controls previously required. Through the regulation revisions, stormwater management now addresses smaller more frequent storms in terms of water quality volume and channel protection for development projects greater than 15,000 square feet. The Water Department spends approximately $2 million annually to review private sector development plans for compliance with the Stormwater Regulations. Philadelphia’s stormwater regulations are published online at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/water. The stormwater regulations were revised to address the following technical components: Water Quality: The first inch of precipitation over directly connected impervious cover must be recharged. Where recharge is not feasible, or limited, any remaining volume is subject to an acceptable water quality practice. Channel Protection: The 1-year, 24-hour storm must be detained and slowly released over a minimum of 24-hours and maximum of 72-hours. Flood Control: Watersheds that have been part of an Act 167 planning effort are to follow the model results for flood management districts. Non-Structural Site Design: Projects are required to maximize the site potential for stormwater management through appropriate placement and integration of stormwater management practices. Documented in Table 3-10 are the required components of each type of project and any qualified exemptions from the flood control component. The process and level of review of a private development project varies depending on the size of the earth disturbance associated with the development, the individual watershed requirements based on Act 167 Stormwater Management Plans and special zoning code regulations, and the associated state and federal permit requirements. Table 3-11 summarizes the different triggers for the Water Department’s Stormwater Plan Review and types of forms and permits required. Erosion and Sediment Control (E&S) Best Management Practices (BMPs): Stormwater BMP’s are required for any earth disturbance projects by the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law regulations, to prevent site soil erosion and reduce sediment pollution in nearby streams. Development or redevelopment projects disturbing more than 5,000 square feet are required to have the Water Department review an E&S Control Plan, and those greater than one acre require an NPDES permit issued by PA DEP.
