Storm Water Quality For Developers

The purpose of storm water management control is to reduce the pollutants from storm water runoff that originates from construction and post construction activities. The Town of Lowell is required to have procedures for plan review of construction plans that consider potential water quality impacts.

The Town of Lowell requires construction site operators to develop a storm water pollution prevention plan, or SWPPP, for their storm water discharges. An SWPPP is broader in scope than an erosion and sediment control plan or site plan.

The SWPPP requires post-construction storm water control measures to be submitted and approved as part of the site review construction plans. Post-Construction Narratives are required before completion of the project. The narrative describes the maintenance guidelines for all post-construction storm water quality measures to facilitate their proper long-term function.

For information regarding application requirements, please contact the MS4 Coordinator at (219) 696-7794.
