The City of Greenville and Greenville County generally are experiencing growth and revitalization that is impacting the City’s natural resources. This increased urbanization is especially evident with its surface water resources. The growth and revitalization necessitates an increased need to protect and enhance the natural water resource features that are evident throughout the City and so significantly and critically contributes to the City’s distinctive character. The City of Greenville recognizes this need for a more proactive and comprehensive approach to manage stormwater runoff. In response to this recognition, the City Council adopted the Greenville Stormwater Management Plan by Resolution on May 29, 2007. The purpose of this Plan is to establish the framework and goals that will direct Stormwater Management for the City of Greenville.
The Greenville Stormwater Management Plan specifies the mission and the goals of stormwater management in the City of Greenville, and presents the framework of the stormwater management program. The implementation phases allow for the effective development and growth of the stormwater management program. The focus of the stormwater management program is the development of proper watershed planning and effective regulations. The adoption of the Greenville Stormwater Management Plan and the establishment of the stormwater management program will allow the City to better assess funding consideration for capital improvement projects that will correct existing flood problems and reduce the likelihood of future problems. With the development and implementation of the Watershed Plans, the Stormwater Ordinance, maintenance and public information programs, the City of Greenville will have the ability to accomplish comprehensive stormwater management.
