Purpose: The Village of McFarland has regulated stormwater for a number of years, with the most recent revisions taking place at the time of codification of the Village Ordinances. This revision takes as its starting point the Stormwater Run-Off Model Ordinance promulgated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
(a) This Ordinance is adopted by the Village Board under the authority granted by Wis. Stats. Sec. 61.354. This Ordinance supersedes all conflicting and contradictory stormwater management regulations previously enacted under Wis. Stats. Sec. 61.35. Except as specifically provided for in Wis. Stats. Sec. 61.354, Wis. Stats. Sec. 61.35 applies to this Ordinance and to any amendments to this Ordinance.
(b) The provisions of this Ordinance shall not limit any other lawful regulatory powers of the Village Board.
(c) The Village Board hereby designates the Director of Public Works to administer and enforce the provisions of this Ordinance.
(d) The requirements of this Ordinance do not limit any additional stormwater management requirements that may be imposed by WPDES Storm Water Permits issued by the Department of Natural Resources under Wis. Stats. Sec. 147.021."
"SEC. 15-5-21 FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(7) undermine floodplain management efforts by increasing the incidence and levels of flooding.
(4) control building sites, placement of structures, and land uses, and promote sound economic growth.
(c) Intent. It is the intent of the Village Board that this Ordinance manage the long-term post-construction stormwater discharges from land development activities. The Village Board recognizes that the preferred method of addressing stormwater management problems is through the preparation of comprehensive stormwater management system plans for subwatershed areas which are designed to meet the purpose and intent of this Ordinance. Where such system plans have been developed and approved by the Village Board, it is the intent that all land development activities, as defined in Section 15-5-23(e) of this Ordinance, will include stormwater management measures that meet performance standards set forth in those approved plans. Where such stormwater management system plans have not been developed or approved by the Village Board, it is the intent of the Village Board that the generic stormwater management standards set forth in Sections 15-5-26(a) and 15-5-26(b) of this Ordinance be applied unless otherwise excepted by the Village Board. This Ordinance shall not apply to lands on which the only structures are buildings existing on the effective date of this Ordinance which are not redeveloped in a manner that increases discharge volume after the effective date of this Ordinance."

(1) Peak flow reducing components and all other stormwater management structures shall be designed in accordance with standard engineering practice.
(2) Runoff volumes and peak flow rates used in designing the water quantity components of storm water structures shall be based on the principles of the document entitled "Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds" (Technical Release 55: Engineering Division, Soil Conservation Service, United States Department of Agriculture, June 1992)."
"SEC. 15-5-26 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT STANDARDS.
(1) The peak flow discharge rates of stormwater runoff from the development shall not exceed those calculated for the series of design storms specified in Section 15-5-26(a)(2) and pre-development conditions specified in Section 15-5-26(a)(3). Discharge velocities must be non-erosive to discharge locations, outfall channels, and receiving streams.
(2) At a minimum, the 2-year/24 hour, the 10-year/24 hour and 25-year/24 hour design storms shall be used in comparing peak flow discharge rates for pre development and post-development conditions.
*For use with re-development projects only.
(4) Increases or decreases in the hydrology of wetlands shall be minimized to the extent practical. Where such changes are proposed, the impact of the proposal on wetland functional values shall be assessed using a methodology acceptable to the Village Engineer and in conformity with Wis. Admin. Code Chap. NR 103. Significant degradation of wetland functional values shall be avoided.
(1) Stormwater discharges shall be treated to remove, on an average annual basis, a minimum of 80% of the total suspended solids load. To achieve this level of control, stormwater practices shall be designed to accommodate, at a minimum, the runoff volume resulting from 1.5 inches of rainfall.

Where such discharges are proposed, the impact of the proposed discharge on wetland functional values shall be assessed using a method acceptable to the Village Engineer and in conformity with Wis. Admin. Code Chap. NR 103.
At a minimum, stormwater discharges shall be pre-treated prior to discharge to wetlands. Significant degradation of wetland functional values due to stormwater pollutant loads shall be avoided.
(3) Stormwater discharges shall be pre-treated prior to infiltration where necessary to prolong maintenance of the infiltration practice and to prevent discharge of stormwater pollutants at concentrations that will result in exceedances of groundwater preventive action limits or enforcement standards established by the Department of Natural Resources in Wis. Admin. Code Chap. NR 140. Stormwater shall not be injected underground through excavations or openings that would violate Wis. Admin. Code § NR 812.05.
(4) Stormwater ponds and infiltration devices shall not be located closer to water supply wells than indicated below without first notifying the Department of Public Works.

Where the site meets the size criteria of Section 15-5-24(a)(5), or the Director of Public Works otherwise determines that it would be inappropriate to require a site to meet the minimum stormwater management requirements on site pursuant to Section 15-5-26(c), the applicant shall pay a fee to the Village, to be used by the Village exclusively for the cost of land, engineering design, construction and maintenance of stormwater management practices.
Land Use: Residential Construction Cost Per Acre ($) 890; Land Cost Per Acre ($) 400 Total Cost Per Acre ($)1,290.
Land Use: Commercial & Industrial Construction Cost Per Acre ($)1,640; Land Cost Per Acre ($)1,010; Total Cost Per Acre ($)2,650.
