§ 914-12.002. Detention basins—Where permitted.

Detention basins may be utilized only if they are approved by the public works department and contain at least fifteen acre-feet of storage capacity to provide regional flow mitigation benefits, except that smaller detention basins may be permitted where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the public works department that the development of a regional basin is not practical and that a smaller detention basin can be permanently operated and maintained by a public entity in a cost-effective manner.
