5.2.1. Goal <br />Hugo will reduce its annual stormwater discharge of runoff volume by infiltrating and <br />reusing stormwater runoff. <br />5.2.2. Policies <br />1. The City of Hugo has adopted a "Reduce, Reuse, Replenish" strategy for the usage <br />of water. This strategy will reduce the impact on aquifer draw down and allow for <br />increased aquifer recharge through strategic direct injection infiltration and <br />stormwater based irrigation practices. <br />2. The City of Hugo has adopted Atlas 14 rainfall precipitation data and will incorporate <br />this data into future analyses. <br />3. Any development or redevelopment within the City of Hugo will give first preference <br />to infiltration and stormwater reuse as a means to maintain existing runoff volume in <br />accordance with RCWD Rule C. <br />4. Reuse projects should function to reduce or eliminate the use of City potable water <br />for irrigation. <br />5. Development and redevelopment projects shall reestablish turf according to Hugo's <br />turf establishment design guidance: providing sufficient topsoil and organic matter to <br />sustain turf without excessive irrigation (whether using potable water, reclaimed <br />water). <br />6. As allowed by RCWD Rule C.5(f), for properties within the RCWD boundary, the City <br />of Hugo will develop Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plans (CSMPs) to <br />manage stormwater at a regional scale within Resource Areas of Concern. These <br />CSMPs must be approved by RCWD's Board of Managers prior to City <br />implementation. The focus of these CSMPs will help to quantify a system of regional <br />volume reduction projects, mostly stormwater reuse for irrigation, to generate volume <br />reduction credits on select city roadway and redevelopment projects. Hugo will use <br />these credits on land development or linear projects where physical constraints do <br />not allow for cost efficient BMP implementation to address volume reduction. Rate <br />control requirements will still need to be met for any projects within these CSMP <br />areas. <br />7. The City will work with the BCWD and CMSCWD on permitting and stormwater <br />management as required for possible future development in areas of the City under <br />their jurisdictions. <br />8. Development that results in the creation of impervious surfaces must explicitly <br />address use of BMPs to first limit the loss of pervious area; and second, to: <br />a. Infiltrate runoff which does occur from impervious areas to the extent feasible <br />considering site -specific conditions, and/or <br />b. Reuse runoff for irrigation and other appropriate uses. <br />SECTION 5 <br />
