All development and redevelopment in the unincorporated townships of Hamilton County that disturb over 1 acre are subject to compliance with Hamilton County Storm Water District's Article V - Post Construction Storm Water Quality Regulations and Ohio EPA's Construction General Permit (OHC000005).

OEPA's Storm Water Technical Assistance materials provide a multitude of resources to aid in the design of Post Construction Stormwater Controls. Typically, a development will be required to detain the calculated Water Quality Volume for the minimum drain time required for the chosen Post-Construction Practice as specified in Table 510-C of Article V.

Lastly, Ohio's Rainwater and Land Development Manual (RLDM) provides design standards, specifications, and guidelines for designing pre-approved Post Construction Stormwater Controls as well as design criteria for required forebays, micropools, and acceptable pretreatment options. This Manual also provides design specifications for alternative BMPs, pre- through post-construction runoff and erosion control, and Runoff Reduction Practices.

• Water Quality Plan Review Checklist  
  • This plan review checklist will be required for all projects submitted for review that are subject to WQ regulations starting in 2021. We encourage the developer or engineer to complete this checklist and include it with the plan submission in order to expedite the plan review process. All greyed out items will be reviewed by the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District in accordance with Article III – Earthwork Regulations.
