technical assistance to all other City
Departments. Services performed by the
department include site and facility
design, preparation of computer aided
design plan drawings, assistance in
the preparation of contract documents
and specifications, field surveying,
project inspection, and construction
staking. Other services include mapping,
coordination of quality based selection
of outside engineering consultants,
and monitoring of compliance with federal,
state and local laws and regulations.
In addition, the department also reviews
all site and subdivision plans to ensure
that all zoning and subdivision regulations
are met and provides site inspections
on a daily basis on all on-going construction
and development projects.
SITE INSPECTION
SCHEDULING
Most site inspections
are automatically scheduled after the
Engineering Department is notified that
the commercial site or residential subdivision
is ready to commence construction. Individual
inspections can be scheduled by calling
the City of Springfield Engineering
Department at 615-382-2200 and scheduling
a specific time.
LAND DISTURBANCE
PERMITS
Most land disturbance
work within the City of Springfield
will require a Land Disturbance Permit.
Please contact the Engineering Department
before starting any land disturbance
work so that a decision can be made
about whether a Land Disturbance Permit
will be needed to perform the proposed
work. The cost of a Land Disturbance
Permit is fifty dollars ($50.00).
STORMWATER REGULATION
(NPDES PROGRAM)
The City of Springfield
is an EPA Phase II Small MS4 (municipal
separate storm sewer systems) Stormwater
Program Participant city. The requirements
of the program are as follows:
- Reduce the discharge
of pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable
- Protect water
quality
- Satisfy the
appropriate water quality requirements
of the Clean Water Act
The Engineering
Department helps meet these requirements
in the following ways:
Public Education
and Outreach
Distributing educational materials
and performing outreach to inform
citizens about the impacts polluted
stormwater runoff discharges can have
on water quality.
Public Participation/Involvement
Providing opportunities for citizens
to participate in program development
and implementation, including effectively
publicizing public hearings and/or
encouraging citizen representatives
on a stormwater management panel.
Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination Developing
and implementing a plan to detect
and eliminate illicit discharges to
the storm sewer system (including
developing a system map and informing
the community about hazards associated
with illegal discharges and improper
disposal of waste).
Construction
Site Runoff Control
Developing, implementing, and enforcing
an erosion and sediment control program
for construction activities that disturb
ten thousand (10,000) or more square
feet of land. Controls can include
silt fences and temporary stormwater
detention ponds.
Post-Construction
Runoff Control
Developing, implementing, and enforcing
a program to address discharges of
post-construction stormwater runoff
from new development and redevelopment
areas. Applicable controls could include
preventative actions such as protecting
sensitive areas such as wetlands or
the use of structural BMP's (Best
Management Practices) such as grassed
swales or porous pavement.
