STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
In July 2006 the Culpeper County Planning Department was awarded $42,000 from the Department of Conservation and Recreation Water Quality Improvement Fund. This grant allowed the planning staff to hire the Timmons Group as consultants to write a countywide stormwater management ordinance. Along with the Timmons Group, a steering committee was created whose members included a local planner, engineer, soil and water conservation district staff, county staff, and department of conservation and recreation staff. The steering committee met on several occasions and reviewed the draft ordianance. The ordinance was adopted by the Board of Supervisors June 3rd, 2008 and can be viewed in its entirety along with the accompanying manual at the following link.
Many thanks to the participants who helped guide the drafting of this ordinance, which is heavily focused on low impact development techniques.
