HB 1953 Creation of the Low Impact Development Assessment Task Force.
Introduced by: David B. Albo | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Creation of the Low Impact Development Assessment Task Force. Requires the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality to appoint a Low Impact Development Assessment Task Force. The 11-member task force shall operate as an entity within the Department. The task force shall (i) develop a certification process for low impact development techniques in achieving quantifiable pollution prevention or abatement results, (ii) develop such other guidance for local governments and the general public as necessary to promote a more complete understanding of the most effective use of low impact development techniques, (iii) recommend changes to existing statutes and regulations to facilitate the use of low impact development techniques, and (iv) develop a model ordinance for use by local governments. For purposes of this section, "low impact development" means a site-specific system of design and development techniques that can serve as an effective, low-cost alternative to existing stormwater and water quality control methods and that will reduce the creation of storm runoff and pollution and potentially reduce the need to treat or mitigate water pollution. The Taskforce shall continue in existence until it has submitted its final report.
