As part of the auditing process, the <br />RCWD would jointly review the first 1-2 permits to ensure the City understands the rules and process. As <br />noted above, a fee schedule would need to be developed. One option would be to adopt the current RCWD <br />fee schedule (tabulated below). It appears that this would generally cover costs if the City were to take on the <br />permitting responsibilities for Rules C, D, E, and F. <br />RCWD Permitting Fees <br />Rule C (Stormwater Management Plans): <br />Single lot, single family residential projects: <br />Home, Accessory Structure, Driveway, etc. $150 <br />Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional Development: <br />< 1 acre of new or reconstructed impervious surface $1000 <br />1 – 2.5 acres of new or reconstructed impervious surface $2,000 <br />2.5 - 5 acres of new or reconstructed impervious surface $3,500 <br />> 5 acres of new or reconstructed impervious surface $5,000 + $1,000/ac, max $10,000 <br /> <br />Rule D (Erosion Control Plans): <br />< 2.5 acres of land disturbance $100 <br />2.5 – 10 acres of land disturbance $250 <br />> 10 acres of land disturbance $500 <br /> <br />Rule E (Floodplain Alteration): <br />No mitigation required $0 <br />Mitigation required $100 <br /> <br />Rule F (Wetland Alteration): <br />Exemption $250 <br />< 1 acre of mitigation required $875 <br />1 – 5 acres of mitigation required $1,750 <br />5 – 10 acres of mitigation <br />required <br />$3,500 <br />> 10 acres of mitigation required $5,250 <br />Banking Plan $1,750 <br />If the City were to take on WCA administration, there are additional services such as wetland delineation <br />review, wetland replacement plan approvals, and administration that are not covered by the fee schedule <br />above. Most cities that handle WCA administration do this as a pass-through cost to the applicant. This is <br />accomplished by a variety of methods that include: application fees, escrows provided by the applicant that <br />are utilized for review, direct billing to the applicant (typically for subdivisions with an application), or a <br />combination of the above.
