§ 30-91. Purpose and intent.  


Latest version.
  • This division addresses stormwater management in order to protect, maintain and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the town. The intent of this division is to protect surface water, groundwater and other natural resources by ensuring that stormwater runoff peak discharge rates, volumes and pollutant loadings are controlled as required by state or water management stormwater regulations and that precautions are taken to prevent erosion sedimentation, flooding and water pollution. The purpose of this division is to minimize or eliminate sediment transport and deposition into the air and/or water within the town and to ensure compliance with the town's NPDES MS4 stormwater permit. Problems caused by erosion and sediment transport include adverse impacts to the environment, lower aesthetic values, regulatory penalties, and increased maintenance costs.
