TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE BLOOMINGTON MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED “WASTEWATER” -Re: Addition of Chapter 10.21 entitled “Construction Site and Post Construction Stormwater Control”
The Federal Stormwater Phase II NPDES permit program administered by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management includes requirements for management of stormwater run-off associated with municipal separate storm sewer system (“MS4”) conveyances. This ordinance brings the City of Bloomington into compliance with the requirements of 327 IAC 15-5 and 327 IAC 15-13. It requires Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (“SWP3)” which includes erosion and sediment control measures and materials handling procedures to be submitted as part of the construction plans and specifications in order to be issued a land disturbance permit for construction sites disturbing one acre or more of land. The ordinance also requires the development of Post-Construction stormwater control measures for new development and redevelopment to be submitted and approved as part of the construction plans and specifications.
