WAYNE
COUNTY STORM WATER MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS (SWMR) ARE CURRENTLY IN
EFFECT. THE REGULATIONS BECAME EFFECTIVE ON JUNE 19,
2009.
The Storm Water Management
Regulations (SWMR) have been developed by the
Wayne County Commissioners for the purpose of protecting Wayne County
residents from the impacts of storm water runoff pollution,
sedimentation and erosion during and after non-farm, earth-disturbing
activities. These activities include, among others, residential,
commercial and industrial site development and construction, grading,
and roadway and pipeline projects.
The new SWMR have
Review and Inspection Fees associated with
them.
A Guidance
Document has
also been developed as a supplement to the Storm Water Management
Regulations. In addition to identifying and mitigating conditions
that erode the quality of open waterways in the County, the Storm Water
Management Regulations also allow Wayne County to maintain compliance
status with the storm water management requirements of the Ohio EPA.
REQUIREMENTS:
All non-farm, earth disturbing activities are required to
complete a Construction
Application for Permit (CAP). The CAP must
be completed and submitted to the Wayne Soil and Water Conservation
District Office. The Soil and Water Conservation District reviews
the CAP and issues a Storm Water Construction Permit or a waiver to the
Permit depending on the nature of the work and area of ground
disturbed. All activities require the implementation of sediment
and erosion measures. In addition to implementing sediment and
erosion control measures, activities disturbing more than one (1) acre
of ground must construct permanent, Post-Construction Best Management
Practices (BMP’s) as outlined in the regulations. Detailed CAP
Instructions are
available to help in the process of completing the CAP.
If you have any questions regarding the Wayne County
Storm Water Management Regulations please feel free to call the Water
Management Engineer, Rob
Kastner at Wayne Soil & Water Conservation District
