661 Storm Water Management Regulations 48 content

     

 
         City of Cumberland
 
     Stormwater Management
       Regulations- Revisions
 
 
On May 5, 2009, changes to Maryland’s stormwater management
regulations (COMAR 26.17.02), pursuant to the subject act,
became effective.  These changes will apply to both new
development and redevelopment projects on May 4, 2010,
unless they have final approval for Sediment and Erosion Control (SEC)
and Storm Water Management (SWM) before that date. 
 
As with Allegany County and other municipalities, the City of Cumberland
is working towards revision of the Storm Water Ordinance to comply with
the new regulations, and the revised ordinance must be enacted and in place
by May 4, 2010.
 
Please be advised that the City willallow projects designed in accordance
with the current regulationsto be submitted only until December 31, 2009
That will allow approximately four months for review and approval ahead of
the May 4, 2010 deadline.  Further, please be aware that the documentation
must be complete at time of submittal.  You should carefully consider the size
of the project and the review effort required before you undertake the design
and documentation effort for a submittal before the deadline.  City staff will
endeavor to put forth a good faith effort to complete reviews and approve
projects under the existing ordinance, but there is no guarantee.
 
Please also be aware that any plans that the City approves before May 4, 2010
must commence construction within one calendar year of issuance of the permit,
and construction must be completed within two years of issuance of the permit. 
Otherwise, any such project will be required to comply with the new stormwater
management regulations.
 
The revised Maryland Stormwater Design Manual is available for download
from this location:
 
 
Please plan any work addressed by this letter accordingly.  We appreciate
your efforts to work with the City through this period of transition.
