SECTION 2.0PROJECTS REQUIRING HYDROLOGY/HYDRAULICS AND DRAINAGE FACILITYDESIGN REVIEWThis <strong>Manual</strong> sets forth design criteria and submittal requirements for review <strong>of</strong> developmentproposals and projects along creeks and waterways within <strong>the</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Luis</strong> <strong>Obispo</strong> CreekWatershed. The <strong>City</strong> and County will use <strong>the</strong>se criteria in <strong>the</strong> review <strong>of</strong> projects for <strong>the</strong>ir impactson creeks and waterways and for <strong>the</strong> adequacy <strong>of</strong> drainage facilities and <strong>the</strong>ir compliance with<strong>the</strong> policies contained in this <strong>Manual</strong>. <strong>Drainage</strong> facility design review includes a review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>following applicant-furnished information:1. Hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, including floodplain information andfloodplain determinations associated with <strong>City</strong> and County floodplainmanagement regulations and ordinances, and this <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>;2. Geomorphic and geotechnical channel stability assessments and bank repair andstabilization plans- when required by <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> Engineer or County Public WorksDirector, and;3. Review <strong>of</strong> all stormwater drainage facilities and hydraulic structure designs forcompliance with applicable standards.2.1 <strong>Drainage</strong> Master PlanPreparation and submittal <strong>of</strong> a satisfactory <strong>Drainage</strong> Master Plan may be required as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>approval process for all Specific Plans and large development projects as determined by <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong>Engineer or County Public Works Director. Normally a large development project will beconsidered to be projects over 1 hectare (2.5 acres). The <strong>Drainage</strong> Master Plan shall considercumulative regional drainage and flooding impacts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> development proposal, includingstream stability, and shall address mitigation requirements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> identified impacts. This impactassessment will be coordinated with any required CEQA Document, as determined by <strong>the</strong> <strong>City</strong> orCounty CEQA compliance <strong>of</strong>ficer. The intent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Drainage</strong> Master Plan shall be to insure that<strong>the</strong> overall rate <strong>of</strong> run<strong>of</strong>f from a project does not significantly exceed pre-developmentconditions for <strong>the</strong> 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year return interval peak run<strong>of</strong>f events. If necessary,this design intent shall be achieved by incorporating run<strong>of</strong>f control measures to minimize peakflow increases (refer to Section 9.0), and/or by providing assistance in financing or o<strong>the</strong>rwiseimplementing comprehensive <strong>Drainage</strong> or Stormwater Management Plans (refer to Section 3.2).SLO Creek <strong>Drainage</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> 3 February 2003
