New Orleans Fee-in-Lieu Payments for Green Stormwater Management

Fee-in-lieu payments are received in exchange for properties that do not physically comply with the city’s stormwater management plan regulations. The department of public works shall utilize said funds to design, construct, and maintain public green stormwater infrastructure projects which result in a minimum per cubic foot storage equivalent to the revenue received from the payments of in-lieu compliance on an annualized basis. Expenditures from the fund shall be appropriated and recorded properly for this stated purpose and use. (M.C.S., Ord. No. 27700)
