Runoff Reduction Practicability Policy

All development equal to or greater than 5,000 square feet of proposed impervious surface are required to provide Stormwater management. Per the State of Georgia Mandate, each site must provide 100% Runoff Reduction for the proposed development.

At such time in which the runoff reduction criteria is not achievable, the site must provide runoff reduction to the maximum extent possible, provide the required 80% TSS removal for the 1.2-inch rainfall event and apply for a reduction of the criteria. See link below for all information associated with a decrease of the runoff reduction criteria.
