Municipal/State erosion
and sediment control
permit requirements for
land disturbance
activities equal to or
greater than one acre,
OR for land disturbance
activities less than one
acre that are part of a
larger common
development.
On April 12, 2010 the
Stormwater Management
Ordinance which targets
to improve water quality
in our local waterways
was adopted by City
Council. The Stormwater
Ordinance can be found
under
Chapter 42 of the
Municipal Code. The
adoption of this
ordinance came as a
requirement of the
City's Stormwater
Discharge Permit issued
by the Nebraska
Department of
Environmental Quality (NDEQ).
As a designated Phase II
municipality, one of the
areas required to be
overseen by the City is
construction site
stormwater management
which will be adapted in
mid 2010.
The adopted Stormwater
Ordinance requires all
developers and builders
to obtain an NDEQ
Stormwater Permit and an
Erosion and Sediment
Control (ESC) plan for
all land disturbance
activities equal to or
greater than one acre,
or for land disturbance
activities less than one
acre that are part of a
larger common
development. Failure to
obtain permits/plans for
applicable projects will
result in non-compliance
at federal, state and
local governments. It
is the City's goal to
implement the Stormwater
Management Plan without
delaying the
construction throughout
Hastings.
Developers and Builders
should therefore plan
ahead when preparing
permits that may require
an associated ESC plan.
Please refer to the
documents below for
information on the ESC
plan application
requirements.
