In addition to having a plan for stormwater management on a property once development is complete, a plan for managing stormwater during the construction phase is also required. How and when to go about this can be CON-FU-SING!, or at least that was the case for us.

The Plans! The Plans!
They’re heeeeeeeere! We now have the official plans for the 1004 Central rebuild. We have submitted the building permit application to the City – plan review typically takes two to four weeks. Now we wait!
Rain Gardens
Rain gardens are landscaped areas planted with wildflowers and native vegetation that soak up rain water, mainly from the roofs of houses or other buildings. The rain garden fills with a few inches of water after a storm and the water slowly filters into the ground instead of flowing into a storm drain.

So, you may ask, is this stormwater biz really such a big deal? I mean, do you REALLY need to take almost a week to write another blog post because you’re working on this stormwater management plan? (By the way, we’re almost done… promise). Well, yeah, we do. And here is why.
Fine/Line Technical Services

Stormy Weather…
With the existing structure at 1004 Central now demolished we are assembling the necessary information for our building permit, which we hope to submit shortly. In addition to the plans for the structure, a building permit application requires a stormwater management plan for any project that will result in an increase in the amount of impervious surface on the property.
