§ 112-4. Establishment of a local stormwater design manual (LDM).

(a)

The city has furnished additional policy, criteria and information including specifications and standards, for the proper implementation of the requirements of this chapter and has provided such information in the form of an LDM. The LDM will serve to supplement and/or clarify information set forth in the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual.

(b)

The LDM will include a list of acceptable stormwater treatment practices, including the specific design criteria and operation and maintenance requirements for each stormwater practice. The manual may be updated and expanded from time to time, at the discretion of the city, based on improvements in engineering, science, monitoring and local maintenance experience. Stormwater treatment practices that are designed and constructed in accordance with these design and sizing criteria will be presumed to meet the minimum water quality performance standards during the design and permitting phase of a land development project.

(c)

The stormwater local design manual is maintained by the city manager and made available through the city manager's office.
