Atlanta Post Development Stormwater Management Regulations

Purpose: to protect, maintain, and enhance the public health, safety, environment, and general welfare by establishing minimum requirements and procedures to control the adverse effects of post-development runoff and nonpoint source pollution associated with new development and redevelopment by focusing on the types of frequently occurring storm events that generate the most water quality impacts.

Includes the following provisions:
– 1.0″ rainfall retention
– Credits for stormwater “better site design”
– Prescribes use of the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual
