Drainage Criteria Manual

CITY OF ROLLINGWOOD REQUIREMENTS FOR DRAINAGE:

The intent of this manual is to implement design principles and practices that control runoff from all development, during and after construction, such that no development will result in additional adverse flooding impacts. Any development that causes an increase in stormwater runoff requires mitigation by providing drainage analysis and a drainage plan performed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Texas. The City’s drainage policy shall govern the planning and design of drainage facilities within the City's corporate limits. This manual's definitions, criteria, procedures, and data have been developed to support this policy. For developments requiring drainage facilities, construction plans, and all associated documents shall be provided to the City and shall conform to the requirements described within the Drainage Ordinance and the City’s Drainage Criteria Manual. The property owner shall maintain drainage facilities located on private property. Developments that include drainage improvements require an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) plan and schedule for routine inspection and maintenance of the drainage facilities to ensure proper functionality. The owner is responsible for complying with the O&M requirements.   

SEPARATION OF WATER QUALITY AND DRAINAGE FACILITIES:

The City’s drainage requirements are separate from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s regulations pertaining to water quality BMPs and required facilities. Facilities required by the city’s drainage regulations are to be separated from drainage facilities provided for compliance with applicable water quality regulations unless approved by the City Engineer.

Additional requirements can be found in our Code of Ordinances and Chapter 103 of the Code of Ordinances
