Beatrice Green Stormwater Infrastructure

This ordinance mandates that all developments implement a stormwater pollution prevention plan incorporating on-site retention and environmentally sound drainage design. It requires adherence to natural land contours, prohibits excessive water runoff onto adjacent properties, and encourages best available technologies such as swales, porous paving, and terracing. The policy aims to reduce flooding risks, enhance natural infiltration, and minimize pollutant discharge into waterways.
