Stantec <br /> CENTERVILLE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES <br /> September 2012 <br /> realizes that RCWD efforts in this area are limited by manpower and budget constraints, and <br /> understands that erosion and sediment control can be better enforced at a more local level. <br /> Related Policies <br /> (a) Continue enforcing the City code addressing erosion control for all new development <br /> occurring in the City (see appendix) <br /> Objective 2 <br /> Minimize potential damage from flooding of personal and public property. <br /> Flooding damages have long been a concern in the City due to the numerous wetland areas <br /> and the Clearwater Creek Ditch System. Moreover, flooding problems have resulted from the <br /> difficulty associated with maintaining proper drainage over the flat topography of the area. <br /> The City has been proactive in reducing flooding potential to local residents. For example, in <br /> 1989, the City initiated the Floodplain Reduction Project along Clearwater Creek. This project <br /> involved the investment of significant resources to reduce flooding potential along Clearwater <br /> Creek. It was completed in 1994, with final approval from FEMA of the revised flood profile <br /> occurring in 1996. <br /> Related Policies <br /> (a) Continue enforcing the City code addressing floodplain management for all new <br /> development occurring in the City (see appendix) <br /> (b) Continue policy of reviewing new grading plans for potential flooding problems. <br /> (c) Implement the capital improvement projects described in Chapter 8. It is anticipated that <br /> these projects will help reduce flooding potential at several problem areas within the <br /> City. <br /> (d) Cooperate with the RCWD in administering infiltration standards. The City defers to the <br /> goals and policies of the RCWD regarding infiltration. <br /> One Team. Infinite Solutions. 5.11 <br /> 30 <br />
