Regional storm water management analyzes potential flooding problems, identifies appropriate mitigation measures and selects site locations and design criteria for RSWF. These RSWF include, but are not limited to, regional detention and retention ponds, watershed protection, land purchase, waterway enlargement, channelization and improved conveyance structures. When it is determined increase runoff from a proposed development will not produce an adverse impact to other properties, the RSWMP allows developers to participate in the program by paying a fee-in-lieu-of detention (FILO) rather than constructing the on-site detention controls. The FILO is used to fund design and construction of regional storm water facilities.
In 2013, the FILO rate structure was revised so fee is determined by the amount of impervious area added at the time a property is developed. The rates were based relative to estimated construction costs for on-site detention facilities. In 2016, Tra...
