EXHIBIT A: CHAPTER 928 <br />CHAPTER 928 <br />COMPREHENSIVE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT <br />928.01 PURPOSE AND SCOPE <br />A. The purpose of this regulation is to establish technically feasible and economically <br />reasonable ston-nwater management standards to achieve a level of stormwater quality <br />and quantity control that will minimize damage to property and degradation of water <br />resources and will promote and maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of <br />the City of North Olmsted: <br />B. This regulation requires owners who develop or re -develop their property within the City <br />of North Olmsted to: <br />Control stormwater runoff from their property and ensure that all Stormwater <br />Control Measures (SCMs) are properly designed, constructed, and maintained. <br />2. Reduce water quality impacts to receiving water resources that may be caused by <br />new development or redevelopment activities. <br />Control the volume, rate, and quality of stormwater runoff originating from their <br />property so that surface water and groundwater are protected and flooding and <br />erosion potential are not increased. <br />Minimize the need to construct, repair, and replace subsurface storm drain <br />systems. <br />Preserve natural infiltration and ground water recharge, and maintain subsurface <br />flow that replenishes water resources, except in slippage prone soils. <br />6. Incorporate stormwater quality and quantity controls into site planning and design <br />at the earliest possible stage in the development process. <br />7. Reduce the expense of remedial projects needed to address problems caused by <br />inadequate stormwater management. <br />Maximize use of SCMs that serve multiple purposes including, but not limited to, <br />flood control, erosion control, fire protection, water quality protection, recreation, <br />and habitat preservation. <br />9. Design sites to minimize the number of stream crossings and the width of <br />associated disturbance in order to minimize the City of North Olmsted's future <br />expenses related to the maintenance and repair of stream crossings. <br />10. Maintain, promote, and re-establish conditions necessary for naturally occurring <br />stream processes that assimilate pollutants, attenuate flood flows, and provide a <br />
