Surface Water Executive Summary The City of Centerville, located completely within the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), is a largely residential community of 2.4 square miles. Roughly 85%of the City is developed. Although complete development in the comprehensive plan is proposed to be staged over the next 20 years,the market forces that drive development are difficult to forecast. Because of the new development and redevelopment that could occur in Centerville,the management priorities of the City have focused on issues surrounding development, such as installation of proper detention facilities, erosion and sediment control of new construction sites, providing adequate storm sewer capacity, and meeting water quality requirements. The primary control of land uses within Centerville is determined by the City, however the RCWD works with the City to review land development permits, as well as road,trail, utility construction and reconstruction.The RCWD has regulatory authority to enforce its goals and policies in order to ensure water quality throughout the City. Inter-Agency Agreements The city recently entered into a programmatic stormwater maintenance agreement with Rice Creek Watershed District (Appendix X). This agreement outlines the city's responsibilities for maintenance of Best Management Practices (BMPs)which were and will be installed under a RCWD permit. The city has no other inter-agency agreements related to stormwater. Amendment Process The City of Centerville Local Water Plan will require periodic amendments to address changes and to remain current with both watershed district and state requirements. Updates of the Capital Improvement Plan and the Comprehensive Plan may also require an update of the LWP. Residents or businesses within the City can also petition amendments to the LWP at any time. The City will conduct a public hearing on all proposed LWP amendments. Notice of the public hearing and a description of the proposed amendments shall be published in the local newspaper at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing. At the hearing,the City will hear all comments on the proposed LWP amendments. Physical Environment and Land Use The city's physical environment and Land Use is described in chapter three of the city's Local Water Plan (LWP), which is attached as Appendix X. 55
