Delano Development Code §20.10.70.4 requires subdivisions and developments crossed by a watercourse to dedicate storm-drainage rights-of-way and construct drainage improvements consistent with City Engineering Design Standards.
Where storm drains serve multiple lots and aren't installed in streets/alleys, the developer must offer to dedicate the necessary rights-of-way. Property within the natural or planned drainage path of unsubdivided upstream land must accommodate calculated full-development flows. The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board permits Delano under the General Industrial and Construction Stormwater NPDES program.
Stormwater NPDES violations are state-level enforcement; construction sites disturbing 1+ acre require an SWPPP.
