Section 650-RICR-20-00-5.15 - Maintenance and Monitoring of Innovative Stormwater Technologies (formerly section 250)A. The RICRMC encourages the use of effective, innovative techniques to achieve runoff reduction, pollutant abatement, and hazard mitigation. Accordingly, experimental technologies to achieve these goals may be implemented within the urban coastal Greenway, at the discretion of the Council.B. New proprietary stormwater treatment technologies may be used provided they are approved pursuant to the Technology Assessment Protocol (TAP) for Innovative and Emerging Technologies as detailed in the most recent version of the RIDEM RI Stormwater Design and Installation Standards Manual.C. If the proprietary stormwater treatment device fails, retrofit or repair must commence immediately. Provisions shall be made on the development site to insure that a proven treatment practice can be accommodated and inserted on-site if an innovative technology fails.D. It will be the responsibility of the property owner (or the appropriate surrogate, such as a homeowners' association) to ensure the inspection and maintenance of these experimental technologies on a regular basis, as approved by the RICRMC.650 R.I.
