STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Common Problems

No stormwater treatment in older neighborhoods

Control structures requiring repair or maintenance

No stormwater master plan for the Libby River Watershed

Possible Solutions

  • Install control structures where there is available space
  • Retrofit catch basins with water quality inlets or other pollutant removal devices
  • Landowners take responsibility for preventing polluted runoff from entering storm sewers
  • Identify the organization responsible for control structure repair and maintenance
  • Repair control structures so that they are functioning as designed
  • Follow control structure inspection and maintenance schedules
  • Prepare a stormwater master plan that considers and plans for the combined effects of stormwater runoff from existing and future development in the watershed
