St. Michael Code Chapter 152 (Surface Water Management) requires a Stormwater Management Permit for projects disturbing one acre or more, and for many smaller projects within shoreland or wetland overlays. The city implements its NPDES MS4 SWPPP through this chapter.
Chapter 152 (Surface Water Management) is the city's stormwater authority. Major projects must submit a Stormwater Management Plan demonstrating that post-development runoff rates do not exceed pre-development for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storm events, with treatment for the first inch of runoff. Best Management Practices (BMPs) like rain gardens, infiltration basins, and treatment ponds are typically required. The city's Engineering Guidelines (February 2022) and Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan provide the technical standards. Penalties for violation are set in Sec. 152.99.
Sec. 152.99 imposes the standard misdemeanor under Sec. 10.99 — up to $1,000 / 90 days. The city may require restoration of damaged drainage features at owner expense and order work stoppage.
