Plan Submittal Process for City of Chattanooga Runoff Reduction permits, covering Concept Phase, Preliminary Phase, and Final Submittal requirements and the related infiltration test permit application using 75% and 100% drawing checklists/spreadsheets. Details the steps for desktop review, face-to-face meetings with LDO, developer/engineer review comments, and final LDO review and approval. Includes construction phasing and installation guidance to protect BMPs (infiltration beds, rain gardens, bio-swales, bio-ponds, and similar LID/Green Infrastructure systems) from sediment-laden runoff and addresses stabilization timing before BMP installation.

Controlling sediment during construction ***Infiltration beds, rain gardens, bio-swales, bio-ponds, certain underground detention systems and some other Low Impact Development (LID) or Green Infrastructure BMP’s must be protected from sediment laden runoff during construction. ***Sedimentation of these types of BMP’s may result in delays, re installation or even total loss of suitable BMP conditions. Construction Phasing and Installation • BMP’s must be protected from construction site runoff; • Phasing of BMP construction is critical to its success; • Sedimentation of a BMP may cause it to malfunction and may lead to delays or even reinstallation of the BMP. Construction Phasing and Installation • Q- Must I complete other areas of construction before installing the BMP? • A-YES. Begin BMP construction only once rest of site is complete and/ or stable; • Q- Does this mean I may have to provide stabilization before installing the BMP? • A-YES. Sedimentation of a BMP may cause it to malfunction and may lead to delays and even reinstallation of the BMP;

FAQs

When should BMP construction begin during the plan process?

Begin BMP construction only once the rest of the site is complete and/or stable, ensuring the BMP is not placed before prerequisite site completion.

Why must BMPs be protected from sediment-laden runoff during construction?

Sedimentation can cause BMPs to malfunction, leading to delays, re-installation, or even total loss of suitable BMP conditions.

What is required in the Final Submittal stage?

Submit final engineering drawings and complete review and approval by the LDO as part of the final plan submission.
