Central Coast Post-Construction Stormwater Requirements

Resolution R3-2013-0032 Adopted July 12, 2013, Approving Post-Construction Stormwater Management Requirements for Development Projects in the Central Coast


85th and 95th Percentile Rainfall Depths

The Central Coast Post-Construction Requirements stipulate that municipalities must require Regulated Projects to use rainfall statistics provided by the Central Coast Water Board or to calculate site-specific rainfall depths determined from local rainfall data using USEPA’s methodology (see Post-Construction Requirements Provision B.4.c).
