What
responsibilities does RVS have for Stormwater Quality?
RVS manages the National Pollutant
Elimination Discharge System (NPDES) Phase II Permit for the Cities of
Central Point,
Phoenix
, and Talent and portions of
Jackson
County
. (See RVS Phase II
Boundary Map for RVS Phase II Permits).
Each city and Jackson
County
are responsible for the quantity of stormwater in their communities
including cleaning and maintaining the stormwater drainage system.
The cities of
Medford
and Ashland
are separately responsible for the management of quality and quantity
of the stormwater in their communities.
RVS also provides management of
the RVS Construction Permit and the 1200C Permit (also known as the NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit)
for the Department of Environmental (DEQ) in the Cities
of Central Point,
Phoenix
and Talent and portions of Jackson
County. The
RVS Construction Permit is required for construction projects that
disturb from 1 to 5 acres. The Permits are
required for construction projects that disturb 5 acres or more.
The 1200C Permit is for stormwater discharges created by land
disturbance activities including clearing, grading, excavating,
backfilling, stockpiling and other construction activities. The goal
of the 1200C Permit is to have no net increase of sediment discharge
over pre-construction conditions.
