Jeremy Keene introduced an Ordinance Amending Missoula Municipal Code Chapter 13.27 to Update Storm Water Regulations.
There are two items to be revised: 1) Revision to chapter 13.26 which has to do with the Missoula valley water quality ordinance, and 2) Amendment to section 13.27, which involves storm water regulation and how penalties are assessed in order to comply with state law.
Tracy Campbell, the regulatory compliance manager with Storm water Utility, stated that the revision to this ordinance is to comply with the MS4 general permit. Most of the regulations are taken from the permit language with which they can better keep track of construction and post construction storm water management. This amendment will ensure compliance with federal mandates.
Ms. Campbell has been working with the permits coordinators and Development Services to make sure the permits being introduced connect with the current permitting system. Other ordinances have not been revised.
