[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of
the Village of New Glarus 12-3-2002 by Ord. No. 02-10. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
A.
This chapter is adopted by the Village of New Glarus
under the authority granted by § 61.354, Wis. Stats. This
chapter supersedes all provisions of an ordinance previously enacted
under § 61.35, Wis. Stats., that relate to stormwater management
regulations. Except as otherwise specified in § 61.354,
Wis. Stats., § 61.35, Wis. Stats., applies to this chapter
and to any amendments to this chapter.
B.
The provisions of this chapter are deemed not to limit
any other lawful regulatory powers of the same governing body.
C.
The Village of New Glarus hereby designates the Village
Administrator or designee to administer and enforce the provisions
of this chapter.
D.
The requirements of this chapter do not pre-empt more
stringent stormwater management requirements that may be imposed by
any of the following:
(1)
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources administrative
rules, permits or approvals, including those authorized under §§ 281.16
and 283.33, Wis. Stats.
(2)
Targeted nonagricultural performance standards promulgated
in rules by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources under § NR
151.004, Wis. Adm. Code.
The Village of New Glarus finds that uncontrolled,
post-construction runoff has a significant impact upon water resources
and the health, safety and general welfare of the community and diminishes
the public enjoyment and use of natural resources. Specifically, uncontrolled
post-construction runoff can:
A.
Degrade physical stream habitat by increasing stream
bank erosion, increasing streambed scour, diminishing groundwater
recharge, diminishing stream base flows and increasing stream temperature.
B.
Diminish the capacity of lakes and streams to support
fish, aquatic life, and recreational and water supply uses by increasing
pollutant loading of sediment, suspended solids, nutrients, heavy
metals, bacteria, pathogens and other urban pollutants.
C.
Alter wetland communities by changing wetland hydrology
and by increasing pollutant loads.
D.
Reduce the quality of groundwater by increasing pollutant
loading.
E.
Threaten public health, safety, property and general
welfare by overtaxing storm sewers, drainageways, and other minor
drainage facilities.
F.
Threaten public health, safety, property and general
welfare by increasing major flood peaks and volumes.
G.
Undermine floodplain management efforts by increasing
the incidence and levels of flooding.
A.
Purpose. The general purpose of this chapter is to
establish long-term, post-construction runoff management requirements
that will diminish the threats to public health, safety, welfare and
the aquatic environment. Specific purposes are to:
(1)
Further the maintenance of safe and healthful conditions.
(2)
Prevent and control the adverse effects of stormwater;
prevent and control soil erosion; prevent and control water pollution;
protect spawning grounds, fish and aquatic life; control building
sites, placement of structures and land uses; preserve ground cover
and scenic beauty; and promote sound economic growth.
(3)
Control exceedance of the safe capacity of existing
drainage facilities and receiving water bodies; prevent undue channel
erosion; control increases in the scouring and transportation of particulate
matter; and prevent conditions that endanger downstream property.
B.
Intent. It is the intent of the Village of New Glarus
that this chapter regulate post-construction stormwater discharges
to waters of the state. The Village of New Glarus recognizes, however,
that the preferred method of achieving the stormwater performance
standards set forth in this chapter is through the preparation and
implementation of comprehensive, systems-level stormwater management
plans that cover hydrologic units, such as watersheds, on a municipal
and regional scale. Such plans may prescribe regional stormwater devices,
practices or systems, any of which may be designed to treat runoff
from more than one site prior to discharge to waters of the state.
Where such plans are in conformance with the performance standards
developed under § 281.16, Wis. Stats., for regional stormwater
management measures and have been approved by the Village of New Glarus,
it is the intent of this chapter that the approved plan be used to
identify post-construction management measures acceptable for the
community.
A.
Applicability.
(1)
Where not otherwise limited by law, this chapter applies
to land development activity that meets either of the following:
(2)
A site that meets any of the criteria in this subsection
is exempt from the requirements of this chapter:
(a)
A redevelopment site with no increase in exposed
parking lots or roads.
(b)
A site with less than 10% connected imperviousness
based on complete development of the post-construction site, provided
the cumulative area of all parking lots and rooftops is less than
one acre.
(c)
Nonpoint discharges from agricultural facilities
and practices.
(d)
Routine maintenance for project sites under
five acres of land disturbance if performed to maintain the original
line and grade, hydraulic capacity or original purpose of the facility.
(e)
Underground utility construction such as water,
sewer and fiber-optic lines. This exemption does not apply to the
construction of any aboveground structures associated with utility
construction.
(3)
Notwithstanding the applicability requirements in Subsection A, this chapter applies to land development activity of any size that, in the opinion of the Village Administrator, is likely to result in runoff that exceeds the safe capacity of the existing drainage facilities or receiving body of water, that causes undue channel erosion, that increases water pollution by scouring or the transportation of particulate matter or that endangers property or public safety.
B.
Jurisdiction. This chapter applies to land development
activities within the boundaries and jurisdiction of the Village of
New Glarus, as well as the extraterritorial division of land subject
to an ordinance enacted pursuant to § 236.45(2) and (3),
Wis. Stats.
