Henderson has comprehensive stormwater regulations under Title 13 of the Henderson Municipal Code. The city requires stormwater management plans for all development projects and enforces the Clark County Regional Flood Control District standards. Henderson's desert climate makes stormwater management critical during monsoon season flash flooding events.
Title 13 of the Henderson Municipal Code establishes stormwater regulations including illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction site runoff controls, and post-construction stormwater management. All development must comply with the Clark County Regional Flood Control District's Hydrologic Criteria and Drainage Design Manual. Projects disturbing one acre or more require a Nevada Division of Environmental Protection Construction Stormwater General Permit.
Violations of stormwater regulations may result in stop-work orders, fines, and criminal penalties. Illicit discharges to the storm drain system are prohibited under federal and local law.
