The City of Hazleton adopted Ordinance No. 2022-1 on February 8, 2022, establishing a comprehensive Stormwater Management Ordinance that supersedes the previous 2007 ordinance. The ordinance addresses inadequate stormwater management from development, which increases runoff volumes, erosion, flooding risks, and water pollution, and establishes standards for stormwater management plans, site requirements, operation and maintenance responsibilities, fees, prohibited discharges, and enforcement mechanisms. The ordinance includes nine articles covering general provisions, definitions, management standards, permit requirements, operation and maintenance agreements, enforcement procedures, and supplementary appendices with technical worksheets and district maps.
