The Village is not responsible for providing drainage facilities on private property for the management of stormwater on that property. The property owner shall be responsible to provide for, and maintain, private stormwater runoff facilities in compliance with Chapter 313, Stormwater: Illicit Discharge and Connection, serving the property and to prevent or correct the accumulation of debris that interferes with the drainage function of a water body.
All stormwater management facilities shall be constructed and
maintained in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local
laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and they shall not conflict
with any existing local stormwater management, wetlands and watershed
plans.
The Village shall utilize the performance and design standards adopted pursuant to Article X of this chapter for stormwater discharge and release rates. However, if the Village Planning Commission makes a specific finding that these standards are not appropriate for a specific site and cannot be followed, the Village is authorized to establish minimum design standards for stormwater discharge release rates and to require dischargers to implement on-site retention, detention or other methods necessary to control the rate and volume of surface water runoff discharged into the stormwater drainage system if the circumstances outlined in Article X of this chapter apply.
A.
All new buildings and substantial (pursuant to state or federal laws
or regulations) improvements to existing buildings shall be protected
from flood damage up to the flood protection elevation (FPE) and shall
be in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations. Floodplain/floodway alteration
shall be permitted only upon review and approval by EGLE, or its successor,
as regulated by the federal government. The developer shall provide
the Village copies of all permits, elevation certificates, letters
of map revision or other documentation related to floodplain/floodway
development of any kind.
B.
In addition to all requirements of FEMA and EGLE, a drainage plan
providing for the filling or alteration of a floodplain/floodway shall
include provisions to minimizes erosion, stabilize the stream bank
and to protect water quality.
C.
A natural vegetation strip shall be maintained on each parcel or
lot between the top of the stream bank and a line, each point of which
is 25 feet horizontal from the top of the stream bank of the body
of water toward the stream.
A.
All persons who cause, in whole or in part, any earth change to occur
shall provide soil erosion and sedimentation control so as to adequately
prevent soils from being eroded and discharged or deposited onto adjacent
properties or into a stormwater drainage system, a public street or
right-of-way, wetland, wetland buffer, creek, stream, water body,
or floodplain. All development shall be in accordance with Part 91
of Act No. 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, as amended, and all applicable
federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulation.
B.
A soil erosion or sedimentation control (SESC) permit is required
for any earth change that is greater than one acre or less than 500
feet from any lake or stream, or as determined by the County Drain
Commissioner's Office, whichever is more restrictive. Permits
are obtained from the SESC agent in the County Drain Commissioner's
Office. A copy of the SESC permit shall be provided to the Village
prior to any work on the site.
C.
During any earth change which exposes soil to an increased risk of
erosion or sediment tracking, the property owner and other persons
causing or participating in the earth change shall do the following:
(1)
Comply with the stormwater management standards of this chapter;
(2)
Obtain and comply with the terms of a soil erosion and sedimentation
control permit from the County Drain Commissioner Office;
(3)
Prevent damage to any public utilities or services within the limits
of grading and within any routes of travel or areas of work of construction
equipment;
(4)
Prevent damage to or impairment of any water body on or near the
location of the earth change or affected by the earth change;
(5)
Prevent damage to adjacent or nearby land;
(6)
Apply for all required approvals or permits prior to the commencement
of work;
(7)
Proceed with the proposed work only in accordance with the approved
plans and in compliance with this chapter;
(8)
Maintain all required soil erosion and sedimentation control measures,
including but not limited to measures required for compliance with
the terms of this chapter;
(9)
Protect all surrounding storm sewer inlets with appropriate filter
devices per current stormwater management BMPs;
(10)
Promptly remove all soil, sediment, debris, or other materials
applied, dumped, tracked, or otherwise deposited on any lands, public
streets, sidewalks, or other public ways or facilities, including
catch basins, storm sewers, ditches, drainage swales, or water bodies.
Removal of all such soil, sediment, debris or other materials within
24 hours shall be considered prima facie compliance with this requirement,
unless such materials present an immediate hazard to public health
and safety;
(11)
Refrain from grading land at locations near or adjoining lands,
public streets, sidewalks, alleys, or other public or private property
without providing adequate support or other measures so as to protect
such other lands, streets, sidewalks, or other property from settling,
cracking or sustaining other damage. The developer shall be responsible
for all damage caused to adjacent private and public properties.
A.
Whenever building footing drains are required or utilized, a direct
connection between the footing drains through a sump pump-check valve
system to the on-site stormwater management system is required. A
gravity system is not permitted.
B.
In cases where a waiver or variance has been granted, and connection
to the municipal storm sewer system is permitted, a stormwater lateral
shall be provided for each parcel at the time of storm sewer construction.
C.
Laundry facilities or other similar features shall not be connected
to a footing drain or pump system discharging to the stormwater management
system.
