<br />§ 492.16. Stormwater Management and Rainwater
<br />Retention.
<br />(a) Stormwater management practices minimize runoff and increase
<br />infiltration which recharges groundwater and improves water quality.
<br />Implementing slormwater best management practices into the landscape
<br />and grading design plans to minimize runoff and to increase on-site rain-
<br />water retention and infiltration are encouraged.
<br />(b) Project applicants shall refer to the local agency or Regional Water
<br />Quality Control Board for information on any applicable slormwater
<br />technical requirements.
<br />(c) All planted landscape areas are required to have friable soil to max-
<br />imize water retention and infiltration. Refer to § 492.6(a)(3).
<br />((l) 11 is strongly recommended that landscape areas be designed for
<br />capture and infiltration capacity that is sufficient to prevent runoff from
<br />impervious surfaces (i.e. roof and paved areas) from either. the one inch,
<br />24-hour rain event or (2) the 85th 1x i-centitc, 24-hour rain event, and/or
<br />additional capacity as required by any applicable local, regional, state or
<br />federal regulation.
<br />(e) It is recommended that ,turn waicr projects incorporate any ofthc
<br />following elements to improve on-site storm water and dry weather run-
<br />off capture and use:
<br />Grade impervious surfaces, such as driveways, during construc-
<br />tion to drain to vegetated areas.
<br />Title 23
<br />• Minimize the area of impervious surfaces such as paved areas, roof
<br />and concrete driveways.
<br />• Incorporate pervious or porous surfaces (e.g., gravel, portncabic
<br />pavers or blocks, pervious or porous concrete) that minimize run-
<br />off.
<br />• Direct runotifrom paved surfaces and roof areas into planting beds
<br />or landscaped areas to maximize site water capture and reuse.
<br />• Incorporate rain gardens, cisterns, and other rain harvesting or
<br />catchment systems.
<br />• Incorporate infiltration beds, swales, basins and drywells to cap -
<br />lure storm water and dry weather runoff and increase percolation
<br />into the soil.
<br />• Consider constructed wetlands and ponds that retain water, equal-
<br />ize excess flow, and filter pollutants.
