Local stormwater-related ordinances

Local governments will need to customize this Web page with information about local ordinances that are relevant to stormwater management. It would be ideal if citizens could link to .pdf files that contain the complete ordinance language. If that is not practical, then you can provide the ordinance citation so that citizens could easily find the ordinance at the Town/City/County Hall.

Some of the ordinances that should included on this page if applicable:

  • Buffer protection,
  • Erosion and sediment control,
  • Illicit discharges,
  • Post-construction stormwater controls,
  • Maintenance of stormwater BMPs,
  • Open space management,
  • Pet waste disposal, and
  • Nuisance ordinances relating to drainage, trash, etc.
