TITLE: CHAPTER 55. - POST-CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT City of Garden City Council Meeting Page 3 of 16 April 11, 2022 55.01 – PURPOSE (A) The purpose of this ordinance is to establish minimum stormwater management requirements and controls to protect and safeguard the general health, safety, and welfare of the public residing in the City of Garden City and the watersheds to which it drains and to comply with the City's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and other applicable federal and State regulations. (B) This ordinance seeks to meet that purpose by minimizing the negative impacts of increased stormwater discharges from new land development and redevelopment through the following objectives: 1. To minimize increased stormwater runoff rates and volumes from identified land development and redevelopment. 2. To minimize nonpoint source pollution. 3. To minimize the deterioration of existing watercourses, culverts and bridges, and other structures. 4. To encourage water recharge where geologically favorable conditions exist. 5. To maintain the ecological integrity of stream channels. 6. To minimize the negative impacts of development on downstream channel stability. 7. To preserve and protect water supply facilities and water resources by controlling increased flood discharges, stream erosion, and runoff pollution. 8. To reduce the adverse impact of changing land use on water bodies and, to that end, this ordinance establishes minimum standards to protect water bodies from degradation resulting from changing land use where stormwater management controls are insufficient to meet water quantity and quality goals. 9. To ensure that storm drains and stormwater BMP’s are adequate to address stormwater management needs within a proposed development, and for protecting downstream landowners from flooding and degradation of water quality. The procedures, standards, and recommendations set forth in this ordinance and the current Wayne County Stormwater Control Program are designed for these purposes. 10. To ensure that all stormwater facilities necessary for a proposed development will have an appropriate governmental unit responsible in perpetuity for performing maintenance or for overseeing the performance of maintenance by a private entity. 11. To facilitate the integration of stormwater management and pollution control with other ordinances, programs, policies, and the comprehensive plans of the City of Garden City. 12.

Through plans, illustrations, reports, and calculations, the stormwater plan shall display the required information specified in the current Wayne County Stormwater Control Program. 2. The stormwater plan must be sufficiently detailed to specify the type, location, and size of stormwater management facilities. 3. If it is proposed to develop a parcel in two or more phases, the stormwater plan shall be prepared and submitted for the total project. 4. The stormwater plan shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined in the design manual. All plans shall be signed and sealed by a registered civil engineer in the State of Michigan. 55.08 - STANDARDS FOR POST CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (STORMWATER PLAN) APPROVAL (A) All developments requiring a stormwater plan shall be designed, constructed, and maintained to prevent flooding, minimize stream channel impacts, protect water quality, and achieve the purposes of this ordinance, as stated above. The City of Garden City has adopted performance standards to meet the objectives of managing the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff from a site as described below and in the current Wayne County Stormwater Control Program. (B) Designers may select any combination of stormwater BMPs which meet the performance standards provided the selections: 1. Comply with the requirements identified in this ordinance and the current Wayne County Stormwater Control Program. 2. Comply with all other local, County, State, or federal requirements; and 3. Do not conflict with the existing local stormwater management and watershed plans. (C) The particular facilities and measures required on-site shall take into consideration the natural features, upland areas, wetlands, and watercourses on the site; the potential for on-site and offsite adverse stormwater impacts, water pollution, and erosion; and the size of the site. (D) The following on-site stormwater management concepts must be followed: 1. Natural topography and site drainage shall be preserved and site grading shall be minimized to the maximum extent reasonably achievable considering the nature of the development. 2. The preferred conveyance strategy is to transport, wherever possible, untreated and treated runoff in conveyance facilities open to the atmosphere (e.g. swales, vegetated buffer strips, energy-dissipating structures, etc.), rather than through enclosed pipes, so as to decrease runoff velocity, allow for natural infiltration, allow suspended sediment particles to settle, and to remove pollutants. 3. Watercourses shall not be deepened, widened, dredged, cleared of vegetation, straightened, stabilized, or otherwise altered without applicable permits or approvals from the City Engineer, relevant County agencies and the applicable State of Michigan department(s). 4. The stormwater plan and associated BMPs must demonstrate compliance with required channel protection/volume criteria by providing retention as necessary to meet volume and peak flow limits consistent with the requirements of the design manual. Specific details for achieving compliance with the volume/channel protection criteria are outlined in the design manual. 5. The stormwater plan and associated BMPs must demonstrate compliance with required water quality criteria by providing treatment of total suspended solids (TSS) or by providing retention to achieve the same criteria for maximum TSS concentrations in the stormwater discharge from the site with either approach being consistent with the requirements of the design manual. Specific details for achieving compliance with the water quality criteria are outlined in the design manual. 6. The stormwater plan and associated BMPs must demonstrate compliance with required peak flowrate and flood control criteria by providing stormwater detention and/or retention consistent with the requirements of the design manual. Specific details for achieving compliance with the peak flowrate and flood control criteria are outlined in the design manual. 7. Under certain conditions, the City of Garden City, upon recommendation by the City Engineer, may impose the following additional restrictions on stormwater discharges. • Peak discharge may be further restricted when it can be shown that a probable risk to downstream structures or unique natural areas exists, or that existing severe flooding problems could be further aggravated. • Measures shall be imposed to protect against ground or surface water pollution where the nature of the soils or bedrock underlying a stormwater management structure constitutes substantial risk of contamination, such as might be the case in limestone formations. Special provisions to be followed in these cases will be provided by the City Engineer. City of Garden City Council Meeting Page 7 of 16 April 11, 2022 (E) Stormwater offsets may be considered in accordance with the provisions provided in the current Wayne County Stormwater Control Program, where water quantity or water quality BMPs required by this ordinance cannot be fully accommodated on-site. 55.09 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND BMP CONSTRUCTION PLANS SUBMISSION (A) The stormwater management plan (stormwater plan) and the associated, proposed BMP construction plans and specifications shall be submitted for review in accordance with the site plan submittal requirements of the City code. (B) The BMP construction plans and specifications shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of this ordinance and the current Wayne County Stormwater Control Program.
