12 UNIFIED STORMWATER ORDINANCE Performance Standards (Requirements) Example Ordinance Statement: The 25-year design storm shall be used as a minimum for the design of inlets and storm drain. DESIGN CRITERIA MANUAL Guidance Example Manual Provision: Acceptable calculation methods to determine 25-year event and size inlets appropriately. DOCUMENT RELATIONSHIP

18 Stormwater Permit Floodplain Management Drainage Impact Analysis Water Quality Best Management Practices MAJOR CHANGES

19 Typically Required Conditionally Required Drainage Report Stormwater Quality Plan Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Operations and Maintenance Plan Flood Study Construction Plans Floodplain Development Permit FEMA Requirements (CLOMR Pre- Construction; LOMR Post-Project) USACE Permit Impacted Waters of U.S. CDC Permit USACE Regulatory Zone/Trinity River STORMWATER PERMIT

20 100-year floodplain dedication + Erosion Clear Zone More restrictive erosion clear zone 1.5 to 1 Compensatory Storage FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT

21 EROSION CLEAR ZONE

22 Erosion Clear Zone 25-year Floodplain 100-year Floodplain EROSION CLEAR ZONE

23 Erosion Clear Zone 25-year Floodplain 100-year Floodplain EROSION CLEAR ZONE

24 Evaluation to show no adverse impact: No new or increased flooding of habitable structures. No increases in upstream or downstream water surface elevations greater than 0.04 unless contained in easement or right-of-way. No increase in channel velocities by more than 5% No increased discharges that will exceed capacity of downstream drainage system DRAINAGE IMPACT ANALYSIS

29 How much does all of this cost? It depends How large is the site? How much of the site is being disturbed? What is being built on the site? What methods are they using to handle their stormwater? STAKEHOLDER COMMENTS
