Frequently Asked Questions
Storm Water Management Ordinance
The Wayne County Storm Water Management Ordinance (Enrolled Ordinance No. 2006-1114A) and Administrative Rules (Resolution No. 2006-1114B) assist in compliance with the mutual requirements of the County, local government, and other public agencies under the federal Phase 2 NPDES storm water regulations. These requirements include the development, implementation, and enforcement of programs to manage storm water from new development and re-development. By managing storm water, we will help to minimize flooding problems, erosion, and loss of or damage to natural resources. A partnership between the County, local government, and other agencies who influence development and storm water management will ensure that such a program is effective.
