DRAFT 12/2/14 <br /> CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br /> ANOKA COUNTY,MINNESOTA <br /> ORDINANCE # , <br /> SECOND SERIES <br /> AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 157, <br /> STORMWATER MANAGEMENT <br /> THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE ORDAINS: <br /> Section 1. The City Code Chapter 157 is hereby amended to read as follows: <br /> CHAPTER 157 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT <br /> 157.01. Findings . It is hereby determined that: <br /> (A) Land development projects and associated increases in impervious cover alter the <br /> hydrologic response of local watersheds and increase stormwater runoff rates and <br /> volumes, flooding, stream channel erosion, and sediment transport and deposition; <br /> and, <br /> (B) This stormwater runoff contributes to increased quantities of water-borne <br /> pollutants; and, <br /> (C) Stormwater runoff, soil erosion and non-point source pollution can be controlled <br /> and minimized through the regulation of stormwater runoff from development <br /> sites. Therefore, the City establishes this set of water quality and quantity policies <br /> applicable to all surface waters to provide reasonable guidance for the regulation <br /> of stormwater runoff for the purpose of protecting local water resources from <br /> degradation. It is determined that the regulation of stormwater runoff discharges <br /> from land development projects and other construction activities in order to <br /> control and minimize increases in stormwater runoff rates and volumes, soil <br /> erosion, stream channel erosion, and non-point source pollution associated with <br /> stormwater runoff is in the public interest and will prevent threats to public health <br /> and safety. <br /> 157.02. Definitions <br /> The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the meanings <br /> ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: <br /> Bench is a relatively level step excavated into earth material on which fill is to be <br /> placed. <br /> Best Management Practices (BMP) are erosion control, sediment control and water quality <br /> management practices that are most effective and practicable for means of controlling, <br /> 25 <br />
