Fonda, Director of Utilities COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION The original Stormwater Fund was established in February 1985 to provide system storm drainage maintenance and meet new state and Federal requirements .. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Englewood Water and Sewer Board recommended at their June 7, 2005 meeting, Council approval of Storm Drainage Criteria Manual. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED The Federal Clean Water Act now requires stormwater discharges be authorized under a General Permit for Stormwater Discharge issued by the Colorado Department of Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division. The Colorado Discharge Permit System, under Regulation 61, states that the City is responsible for the quality of the stormwater discharged from our jurisdiction. The proposed Englewood Storm Drainage Criteria Manual's purpose is to grant City staff the authority to address drainage and water quality mandates that have been imposed by the EPA and the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. The proposed manual would give City staff and design engineers concise directions on what is required to meet the intent of the mandates. The criteria would give guidelines to design engineers and property owners for the minimum standards for stormwater drainage and water quality. The Storm Drainage Criteria Manual should be placed under Title 12 of the Englewood Municipal Code, which makes the Water and Sewer Board responsible for administrative review and appeal.
