ORDINANCE NO. 2317
AN ORDINANCE REVISING CHAPTER 22 OF THE MUNICIPAL 'CODE
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE PRESIDEN'f AND BOARD OF 'I'RUSTEES OF'THE VILLAGE
OF MOUNT PROSPECT, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION ONE: That Chapter 22 of the Municipal Code of Mount Prospect of
1957, as amended, be and is hereby further amended by deleting the
existing chapter heading lfPlumbing" and substituting therefor the title
IISewer and Storm Water Management" and by amending in its entirety;
Article I so that hereafter the said title page for Chapter 22 as well
as Article I of Chapter 22 shall be and read as follows:
1I CHAPTER 22. SEWER AND STORJvI WATER ~I!ANAGEMENT
Article I. Storm Sewers and Detention
Article II. Sanitary Sewers
Article III. Septic Tanks
Article I. Storm Sewers and Detention
Section 22.101. Definitions.
A. Accelerated Storm Water Runoff: That additional storm water
runoff generated by the reduction or elimination of pervious
land surfaces through the construction of roads, sidewalks,
parking lots, buildings, and other improvements to real estate.
B. Basins: Basins are of two (2) types, as follows:
1. Detention Basin: An area of land set aside for the purpose
of holding accelerated storm water runoff for a specific
period at tim=sduring and immediately following rainfall
and containing a controlled outlet having a pre-determined
flow based on standards set forth in this Article.
2. Retention Basin: A substantial area of land set aside for
the purpose of holding accelerated storm water runoff for a
specific period at times during and immediately fallowing
rainfa~l which land contains a permanent body of water with
storage for this accelerated runoff above the normal water
surface elevation and containing a controlled outlet for a
pre-determined flow of the additionally stored water which
flow is based on standards set forth in this Article and
which would in no way reduce the surface of the permanent
body of water to a point below its normal elevation.
C. Combined Sewer: A sewer that collects and carries both surface
water runoff and sanitary sewerage wastes from residential,
business, commercial, institutional, and industrial establishments
together with_surface water and water-carried wastes from pave-
ments, parking lots, and any other surfaces.
D. Engineer: Village Engineer of the Village of Mount Prospect or
his authorized representatives.

E. Intercepting Sewer: A Metropolitan Sanitary District sewer into
which the sewage from a sanitary sewer main or mains is discharged
and is transmitted to a sewage treatment plant.
F. Natural Outlet: Any outlet in a watercourse, pond, ditch, lake,
or other body of surface or ground water.
G. Public Sewer: A sewer in which all owners of abutting properties
have equal rights and is controlled by public authority.
H. Sanitary Sewer: A sewer that carries liquid and water-carried
wastes from residences, commercial or industrial plants and in-
stitutions, together with minor quantities of storm, surface,
and groundwaters that are not admitted intentionally.
I. Sewerage System: The facilities for collecting, conveying,
treating, and disposing 6f sewage.
J. Storm Sewer: A sewer'that carries stormwater and surface water
but excludes domestic sewage and industrial wastes.
Section 22.102. Storm Water Detention in Unsewered, Combined, and
Separate Sewered Areas.
A. General: It is recognized that the receiving storm sewers within
the area of the Village of Mount Prospect do not have the capacity
to receive and convey the increased storm water runoff resulting
from rapid urbanization occurring in our area. These rece1v1ng
sewers are subject to frequent flooding which results in a growing
rate of property damage.
B. Requirements: Abuilding permit will not be issued unless the
applicant shall provide detention of storm water runoff as set
forth in the following criteria:
1. A combination of storage and controlled release of storm
water runoff is required for all residential developments
exceeding five (5) acres in area, and for every commercial
and industrial development will be required to store that
portion of the accelerated storm water runoff.
2. The release rate of storm water from all developments re-
quiring detention shall not exceed the storm water runoff
rate from the area in its natural undeveloped state.
a. Because of the flat conditions of the land in this area,
channel configurations cut by nature are generally unable
to handle the runoff from high intensity rainfalls and
results in flood plain storage or spreading ~f runoff
over the land areas during the larger storm periods. In
order not to increase the runoff from such areas after
development, the release rate must be limited to the
carrying capacity of these natural channels.
b. The Village of Mount Prospect will accept the release rate
of not greater than that calculated from a storm of three
(3) year frequency with a runoff rate coefficient of 0.15,
unless the applicant can show by his detail calculations,
which are acceptable by the Village, that the discharge
rate of the natural outlet channel serving the area is
greater.

3. Drainage systems shall have adequate capacity to bypass
through the development the flow from all upstream areas
for a storm of design frequency assuming that the land is
in a fully developed state under present zoning or zoning
proposed under the Village Comprehensive Plan. The bypass
flow rate shall be computed utilizing a runoff coefficient
of not less than 0.35. An allowance will be made for up-
stream detention when such upstream detention and release
rate has previously been approved by the Metr9Politan Sani-
tary District of Greater Chicago and that evidence of' its
construction can be shown.
4. The live detention storage to be provided will be calculated
on the basis of the 100-year frequency rainfall as published
by the U.S. Weather Bureau for this area. The detention
volume required will be that necessary to handle the runoff
of a 100-year rainfall, for any and all durations, from the
fully developed drainage area tributary to the reservoir,
less that volume discharged during. the same duration at the
approved release rate.
5. The design capacity of storm water detention and retention
basins shall be based upon the Metropolitan Sanitary District's
of Greater Chicago formulae as outlined in Article 6-04 of the
Manual of Procedures for the Administration of the Sewer Permit
Ordinance of the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater
Chicago.
Section 22.103. Future Combined Sewers Prohibited. In unsewered and
separate sewered areas of the Village of Mount Prospect it shall be
unlawful for any land developer, owner, subdivider, contractor, or
builder to allow or cause sto~m water runoff to flow directly into
any sanitary sewer or sanitary sewer main by means of pipes, french
drains, or swales.
Section 22.104. Storm Sewer Specifications.
A. All storm sewer pipe used in the construction of storm sewer mains
shall have a minimum internal diameter of ten (10) inches and
shall be Class III or stronger and constructed of reinforced con-
crete conforming to ASTM Designation C76-66T.
B. Joints for such ~einforced concrete storm sewer pipe shall meet
the standards set forth for anyone (I) of two (2) compositions
listed hereinbelow:
1. Bituminous Jointing Compound.
a. Bituminous jointing compound shall be mastic made from
asphalt liquifiers, mineral fillers, and fibers~
b. This bituminous filler shall be of such consistency that
it shall form a positive adhesion to pipe surfaces.
(i) Such mastic shall be free from moisture and shall
be workable with a trowell.
(ii) When hardened, such mastic filler shall be water,
acid, and alkali resistant.
(iii) When hardened and plasticized, there shall be no
plastic flow of the material at temperatures up
to 80oF.
