RSMP Overview
Developers may only participate in the RSMP if they are able to demonstrate that on-site detention is not needed. They must show that their proposed development will produce no identifiable adverse impact to other nearby properties due to increased runoff.
To use RSMP funds, we use a watershed-wide approach to analyze potential flooding problems, identify appropriate mitigation measures and select site locations and design criteria for regional drainage improvements.
The RSMP is funded through payments into watershed-specific accounts by participants in place of providing on-site detention for a project. Participation payments collected are held in accounts based on watershed boundaries and spent only within the associated watershed. Funds may be used for the following purposes:
- Storm drain improvements
- Culvert upgrades
- Channel modifications
- Land and/or easement acquisitions
- Property buyouts
- Design, permitting and construction of regional pond facilities
- Watershed master plans.
Interested in participating? Fill out the RSMP Feasibility Meeting Request Form. For more information and to apply for participation, visit the RSMP Participation Guidance page for more information.
Payment and execution of the agreement must occur before the final plat or site plan approval.
