CHAPTER 1011: STORMWATER, EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL <br />REGULATIONS <br />GENERAL PROVISIONS <br />§ 1011.01 TITLE. <br />This chapter shall be known as the Lino Lakes Stormwater, Erosion and Sediment Control <br />Chapter and will be referred to herein as this chapter. <br />§ 1011.02 PURPOSE. <br />The general purpose of this chapter is to set forth regulatory requirements for land <br />development and land disturbing activities aimed at minimizing threats to public health, safety, <br />public and private property, and natural resources within the City from construction site erosion <br />and post -construction stormwater runoff . Specific purposes are to establish performance <br />standards that will: <br />1) Protect life and property from dangers associated with flooding; <br />2) Protect public and private property and the natural resources from damage resulting from <br />runoff and construction site erosion; <br />3) Ensure land development that minimizes the generation of stormwater runoff volumes and <br />peak rates and maximizes pervious areas for stormwater treatment; <br />4) Promote regional stormwater management by subwatershed; <br />5) Provide a single, consistent set of performance standards that apply to all developments; <br />6) Protect water quality from nutrients, heavy metals, bacteria, pathogens, debris, thermal <br />stress, and other urban pollutants; <br />7) Promote infiltration and groundwater recharge; <br />8) Protect functional values of all types of natural water bodies (e.g., rivers, streams, wetlands, <br />lakes, seasonal ponds); and <br />9) Sustain or enhance biodiversity (native plant and animal habitat) and support riparian <br />ecosystems. <br />draft 06-15 ECS Ordinance.docx <br />2/29 <br />
