If you are the owner of a non-residential property and you feel that you deserve a credit toward your storm water surcharge, you may apply for credit by utilizing the credit application. Sanitation District No. 1's credit policy grants credits for the following situations:
Zero Discharge: No storm water leaves your property.
Water Quantity: A retention or detention basin exists on your property that matches the post-development discharge to the pre-development discharge.
Water Quality: A District-approved Best Management Practice (BMP) exists on your property. The BMP must meet specific design criteria. The District's Regional Best Management Practices Manual includes approved BMPs and design specifications that are a continuous work in progress. Look for updates and modifications to the list and specifications in the future.
You may click on the underlined BMPs to view draft design specifications.

Back Credits: The District's credit policy allows for a credit to be applied retroactively for up to one year, providing that the BMP was functioning properly and being maintained. To apply for a back credit, complete the back credit application and return it to the address listed below. If you have any additional questions, please contact Sean Blake at 859-578-7468.
The District has temporarily adopted a policy that allows for a back credit to be applied retroactively for up to 18 months, given the facility has been constructed and operating properly for that time period. This temporary policy will end in February 2005, in which time the back credit will be allowed for up to one year.
