Project Purpose

The Kane County Stormwater Management Ordinance has not been reviewed in its entirety since it became effective in 2002. Beyond missing definitions and language that is unclear or conflicting, larger issues within the Ordinance have caused difficulty in administering the Ordinance properly. Stormwater Administrators for communities then must make interpretations and enforcement becomes inconsistent between communities.

Goals

The update to the Kane County Stormwater Management Ordinance will provide a water quality benefit to the residents of the County through improved regulations and more consistency amongst communities as well as positive changes to reflect industry standards that will provide a holistic approach to stormwater management and the environment.
