STORMWATER QUALITY PERMITS AND REPORTS


STORMWATER DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES - RVSWDM

The Rogue Valley Stormwater Design Manual applies to the cities of Central Point, Medford, Phoenix, Talent and urbanized unincorporated Jackson County. Projects that will develop or redevelop more than 5,000 square feet of impervious surfaces (buildings, roads, parking lots, etc.) on a site must manage stormwater runoff in compliance with the Rogue Valley Stormwater Quality Design Manual (RVSWDM) found below.

In 2023 the RVSWDM was revised and approve by the Stormwater Advisory Team to meet the MS4 Phase 2 permit requirements. The requirements were to establish a Site Performance Standard with a numeric stormwater retention requirement to target natural surface or predevelopment hydrologic function to retain rainfall on-site and minimize the offsite discharge of precipitation utilizing stormwater controls that infiltrate, capture and/or evapotranspiration of stormwater.” Based on these requirements, Retention of stormwater runoff using infiltration is the priority method of stormwater management and can be accomplished through the use of Low Impact Development or Green Infrastructure.
