The review and approval of all construction plans by the Engineering Division now includes storm water quality requirements imposed by our Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit with the Division of Water Pollution Control of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC).

Delineation and platting of areas required for on-site sewage systems is also coordinated with Sewage Disposal Management.

Letters of credit for approved construction projects are estimated and established.

When on-site stormwater detention is neither possible nor practical for these developments, funds in-lieu-of detention are estimated, levied, and placed in an account for use on community storm water management projects of greater magnitude.

Surety for public improvements is reviewed, and field inspections performed on work in progress to assess compliance.
