Attachment C RSkSFaC+E Stormwater Impact Fund The City of Roseville has developed specific requirements that apply to development and redevelopment projects. These standards are intended to help achieve the water resource goals of the City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) and help the City maintain compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) municipal permit program. These standards highlight important aspects of the requirements for stormwater quality, discharge rate and volume control, erosion control, and illicit discharge. These standards do not replace or supersede City ordinances, watershed district regulations, state and federal rules or permits required for the project. For a more detailed listing of requirements see the specific policies of the City's SWMP and the applicable City ordinances, or consult with City staff on your specific project. To accomplish the goals of the SWMP, it is important to the City to have consistent approaches to evaluating proposed development and redevelopment projects. Therefore, all hydrologic, hydraulic and water quality analysis must be prepared and submitted in a format that will allow for a timely and efficient review by City staff. For permitted sites that cannot feasibly meet the City's Stormwater Requirements through Alternative Stormwater Compliance Sequencing, permittees shall have the option to pay into the City's Stormwater Impact Fund. The amount paid to the City will be based on a $/cubic-foot for the required volume. The $/cubic-foot will be approved by the City Council annually, and can be found within the City's Fee Schedule. 1) Alternative Stormwater Compliance Sequencing The alternative compliance sequencing process includes three steps that must be followed in order to meet the volume reduction standard. The sequencing steps to be followed are: a. First, the applicant shall comply or partially comply with the volume reduction standard to the fullest extent practicable on-site through alternative volume reduction methods. See the questions below for more information. b. Second, the applicant shall meet the volume reduction standard at an offsite location or through the use of qualified banking credit. c. Third, as a last alternative, the applicant shall pay into the City's Stormwater Impact Fund at a $/CF rate. The dollar amount will be approved by the City Council and will be found within the City's Fee Schedule. 2) Mitigation Provisions: a) Stormwater requirements met through the Stormwater Impact Fund will be mitigated as close to the permitted site as possible, dependent on site constraints and project feasibility. The City will follow the hierarchy below to implement a project to offset the volume requirements. Projects will be sited: 1. Within the same storm sewer drainage district, or 2. Within the same drainage area to the same receiving water body, or 3. Within the same watershed district. b) Mitigation projects must involve the creations of new structural stormwater BMP's or the retrofit of existing structural stormwater BMP's, or the use of a properly designed regional structural stormwater BMP.
