1.5 PREPARING A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />The intent of this section is to assist with an applicantis stormwater facility planning <br />efforts. These steps are not required for design, permit, or construction approvals, yet <br />are useful to consider when preparing stormwater management plans. - <br />Step 1- Layout Your Proposed Footprint <br />Prepare a site plan that shows all existing development, proposed development and the <br />grading details of the site. <br />Step Z - Identify Your Stormwater Management Needs <br />Flood Control: All stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces must discharge to approved <br />discharge points (Eugene Code 9.6791, Appendix A). Identify existing impervious surfaces, <br />the existing stormwater discharge points for those existing impervious surfaces, and the <br />available existing stormwater systems. For more information on " Stormwater Flood <br />Control° see SCWM 1.6 of this manual. <br />Stormwater Quality: Generally, all development and redevelopment land use applications <br />and building permits that propose 1 square feet or more of new or replaced impervious <br />surface must treat the stormwater runoff from that impervious area on -site before <br />discharging to ' the public stormwater system (for exemption review, see Eugene Code <br />9.679, Appendix A). For more information on " Stormwater Quality" see Section 1.7 of <br />this manual <br />Oil Control: Eugene Code 9.6794 (Appendix A) <br />Flow Control: Stormwater runoff from non - residential development sites that will be <br />conveyed by an open drainage way located in a Headwaters Stream (see map, Appendix n, <br />may require retention or detention (see Eugene Code 9.6793 for specific code <br />requirements). For more information on "Flow Control" see Section L9. If the site is at or <br />above elevation 500 feet, and using a vicinity map, trace the stormwater runoff How <br />pattern from the development site to an elevation below 500 feet If the stormwater runoff <br />does not enter a Headwater Stream, no How control standards are needed. <br />Source Controls: Site uses and characteristic such as, fuel dispensing, above ground <br />storage of liquids and bulk storage, material transfer areas, loading docks, solid waste <br />storage, vehicle and equipment washing areas, and parking areas may trigger additional <br />water quality measures. For specific code requirements on what uses and characteristics <br />will require additional measures, see Eugene Code 9.6795. Typical source control measures <br />include covering potential pollutant areas, paving the areas to protect the underlying soils, <br />hydraulically Isolating drainage patterns, and containing potential pollutants. Chapter 3 of <br />this manual will provide details on which measures to implement <br />Step 3 - Evaluate Your Development Site and Development Plan <br />Identify the types of soils and infiltration rates of the soils. Identify the ultimate discharge <br />point(s) of the stormwater runoff from the site. Calculate your new /replaced impervious <br />surface area(s). <br />Stmmnvater Management Manual 1 -13 <br />Eugene 2014 <br />
