[HISTORY: Adopted by the Annual Town Meeting of the Town
of Bethany 5-21-2007. Amendments noted where applicable.]
In accordance with the provisions of Chapters 98, 124, 126,
440, 444 and 446 of the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut,
as amended, the Town of Bethany adopts the following Stormwater Management
Ordinance for the following purposes: to protect, maintain and enhance
the public health, safety, and general welfare by establishing minimum
requirements and procedures to control the adverse impacts associated
with postconstruction stormwater runoff. Proper management of stormwater
runoff will minimize damage to public and private property, reduce the effects of development on land and wetlands, control
stream channel erosion, reduce local flooding, improve water quality,
and maintain after development, as nearly as possible, the predevelopment
runoff characteristics.

law. This ordinance establishes methods for controlling the introduction
of pollutants into the municipal separate storm sewer system in order
