SB 1193 Regulation of stormwater.

Introduced by: Frank W. Wagner | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Regulation of stormwater. Allows localities to provide full or partial waivers of stormwater storm drainage and facilities fees to any person who develops, redevelops or retrofits outfalls, discharges or property so that there is a permanent reduction in post-development stormwater flow and pollutant loading. Under current law, such waivers are available only to persons who have obtained permits from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for complete private maintenance of storm drainage and stormwater facilities. Such permits apply only to city and county stormwater systems serving more than 100,000 people, or to companies that have stormwater discharges entering streams directly from industrial facilities. This bill is intended to provide more flexibility to localities in encouraging development that reduces stormwater drainage in instances that are not currently subject to DEQ permitting requirements.
