Plain City owns and operates a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System – a system of stormwater conveyances including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains. The operation and maintenance of this system is regulated under the Federal Clean Water Act and is designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) to protect water quality consistent with the appropriate water quality requirements of State law and attendant regulations.
The Public Works Department has structured a Stormwater Plan to include these control measures:
Work done on a single residential lot that disturbs less than one acre and IS NOT located in a subdivision that comprises more than one acre, requires an in-house Mini SWPPP form and an Acknowledgement Letter – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.
Work done on a single residential lot that disturbs less than one acre and is located in a subdivision that is an acre or larger, requires an Acknowledgment Letter with reference to a Common Plan Permit for the subdivision – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.
All other construction that disturbs an acre or more, e.g. common plan development, subdivision or other phased project, requires a Construction General Permit (CGP) and an Acknowledgment Letter – submitted with plans and standard building permit for review and approval by the Public Works Director or City’s Stormwater Representative.
