[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Meeting of the Town of Wrentham 11-21-2022 STM by Art.
13. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A.
The adverse effects of stormwater runoff to public health, safety,
general welfare, and the environment are significant concerns in the
Town of Wrentham. Inadequate stormwater management systems can result
in property damage; flooding; impairment of water quality and flow
in lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, wetlands, groundwater, and drinking
water supplies; and the loss of recreational opportunities. Inadequate
stormwater management can also lead to alteration or destruction of
aquatic and wildlife habitat, the loss of wetlands, overloading or
clogging of municipal stormwater management systems resulting in the
costly maintenance of the Town's stormwater system, and the loss
of valuable agricultural soils. The purpose of this bylaw is to prevent
or diminish these effects, and to minimize adverse impacts off site
and downstream, which would be borne by abutters, townspeople, and
the general public by controlling construction site stormwater runoff
and managing post-construction stormwater runoff associated with new
development and redevelopment of land.
B.
The objectives of this bylaw are to:
(1)
Protect water resources;
(2)
Comply with state and federal statutes and regulations relating to
stormwater discharges including total maximum daily load requirements;
(3)
Prevent and reduce pollutants from entering the Town of Wrentham's
municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4);
(4)
Establish minimum construction and post-construction stormwater management
standards and design criteria for the regulation and control of stormwater
runoff quantity and quality;
(5)
Establish provisions for the long-term responsibility for, and maintenance
of, structural stormwater control facilities and nonstructural stormwater
best management practices to ensure that they continue to function
as designed are maintained, and pose no threat to public safety; and
(6)
Recognize the Town of Wrentham's legal authority to ensure compliance
with the provisions of this bylaw through inspection, monitoring,
and enforcement.
Unless a different definition is indicated in other sections
of this bylaw, the following definitions and provisions shall apply
throughout this bylaw:

activities are, were, or will be performed.
Any earth, sand, rock, gravel, or similar material.
The reduction in the soil erosion rate which results in an
erosion rate typical of undisturbed soils. Soils which are disturbed
will be considered stabilized when covered with a healthy, mature
growth of grass or other vegetative cover. As a temporary measure
only, disturbed soils will be considered stabilized if covered with
a sufficient covering of hay or straw mulch, applied in an amount
of at least two tons per acre, sufficient to prevent erosion on an
interim basis.

or otherwise stored within the contributing drainage area.
The greatest amount of a pollutant that a water body can
accept and still meet water quality standards for protecting public
health and maintaining the designated beneficial uses of those waters
for drinking, swimming, recreation, and fishing. A TMDL is also a
plan, adopted under the Clean Water Act, specifying how much of a
specific pollutant can come from various sources, including stormwater
discharges, and identifies strategies for reducing the pollutant discharges
from these sources so as not to violate Massachusetts surface water
quality standards. (314 CMR 4.00 et seq.)

This bylaw and its related Town of Wrentham Stormwater Management
Regulations shall be implemented in accordance with the requirements
of United States Environmental Protection Agency's most recent
Massachusetts Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4s) General
Permit relating to illicit connections and discharges, construction
site runoff, and post-construction stormwater management, as well
as the DEP 401 Water Quality Certification regulations (314 CMR 9.00)
and the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. The stormwater authority
may establish additional requirements by regulation to further the
purposes and objectives of this bylaw so long as they are not less
stringent than those in the MS4 General Permit for Massachusetts or
applicable state stormwater permitting requirements.
The stormwater authority may require the applicant to post before
the start of land-disturbance or construction activity a surety bond,
irrevocable letter of credit, cash, or other acceptable security.
The form of the bond shall be approved by the Select Board and the
stormwater authority and be in an amount deemed sufficient by the
stormwater authority to ensure that the work will be completed in
accordance with the approval or permit. If the project is phased,
the stormwater authority may release part of the bond as each phase
is completed in compliance with the approval or permit, but the security
may not be fully released until the stormwater authority has received
the final report as required by the Regulations and issued a certificate
of completion pursuant to the Regulations. If the permittee defaults
on any obligations imposed by the limited stormwater approval, stormwater
permit, or stormwater recharge approval, the stormwater authority
may (after notification of the permittee) inform the holder of the
security (and the municipal treasurer if the treasurer is not holding
the funds) of the default, in which event the Town shall be entitled
to the security funds.
Upon completion of the work and no later than two years after
completion of construction, the applicant shall submit a report (including
certified as-built construction plans) from a professional engineer
(PE), surveyor, or Certified Professional in Erosion and Sedimentation
Control (CPESC), certifying that all BMPs, erosion and sedimentation
control devices, and approved changes and modifications, have been
completed in accordance with the conditions of the approved erosion
and sediment control plan and stormwater management plan. The Town
of Wrentham Stormwater Management Regulations shall specify final
report requirements. The stormwater authority may, by regulation,
require ongoing reporting to ensure long-term compliance, including,
but not limited to, appropriate operation and maintenance of stormwater
BMPs. Any discrepancies with the authorized permit plans/approvals
shall be noted in the cover letter.
