Item No. 17-022
Date: November 28, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDINANCE, Amending Chapter 268, Stormwater, of the Code of the City of
Bangor, By Clarifying Enforcement Authority and Stormwater Maintenance
Plan Provisions
Responsible Department: Engineering
Commentary: This ordinance amendment would clarify the City's stormwater maintenance
ordinance, including by clarifying staff responsibilities for enforcing the ordinance.
The stormwater maintenance ordinance, which deals with the maintenance of stormwater
management structures on properties throughout the City, is required by the state as part of
our Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System permit. The City's Code Enforcement Office is
primarily responsible for administering this ordinance. Other departments, including the City's
Engineering and Water Quality Departments, often assist with review, approval, and
enforcement efforts. The amendments would make this clear.
The ordinance amendment would also clarify that the locations of stormwater management
structures should be included in a property's maintenance plan, and that any discharging to
waters of the state should be so noted.
This item was reviewed and recommended for approval at the Infrastructure Committee
meeting on November 15, 2016.
