As Carlisle is in both Warren and Montgomery counties, both county SWCDs work in partnership with Carlisle to assist in MS4 permit compliance. The Municipality of Carlisle contracts with Warren SWCD and Montgomery SWCD for multiple MS4 permit requirements, but this page pertains to Minimum Control Measure 4. Construction Site Runoff Control.
If your project is in Carlisle, you will be required to obtain an Earth Disturbing Permit (EDP) before any clearing, grubbing or earth disturbance of any kind begins. The process is the same for all earth disturbing in Carlisle, but the SWCD office handling the project is determined by the county in which the project is taking place. For questions about a project in Montgomery County, contact Montgomery County SWCD.
After successful completion of an EDP application for a site in Warren County, you will receive an invoice for your permit fees ($125 per disturbed acre).

Regulations & Guidance:
|
Municipality of Carlisle Stormwater Regulations and Erosion & Sediment Control Regulations exist in the Codified Ordinances. The Carlisle Codified Ordinances are put in place to uphold the Ohio EPA NPDES Construction General Permit. All requirements of the CGP apply in addition to the Carlisle Codified Ordinances. |
Please follow this manual for all technical guidance and specifications for sediment and erosion control measures. This spreadsheet allows engineers to enter design data and receive output information important to SWPPP review. Filling out and submitting this spreadsheet to Warren Co SWCD with SWPPP documents will speed up review and ensure compliance with requirements of the CGP. |
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3):
The SWP3 contents are described in Part III of the NPDES Construction General Permit (CGP). Although the SWP3 does not need to be submitted to Ohio EPA to obtain coverage under the CGP through the NOI application, it must be retained at the construction site at all times during the construction activity. However, Warren SWCD does require submittal and approval of the SWP3 as part of the EDP requirements.
An SWP3 must address all minimum components of the CGP and conform to the specifications of Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Rainwater and Land Development Manual. This manual describes Ohio’s standards for storm water management, land development, and urban stream protection.

Operation and Maintenance Document Guidance:
Operation and Maintenance documents typically entail the O&M Agreement and the O&M Plan. In Ohio, responsibility for operation and maintenance of all post construction stormwater control measures (SCM) lies with the owner of the SCM. Typically, the property owner on which the SCM is constructed is the owner of the control measure and is legally obligated to operate and maintain the control measure. In some cases, a separate entity, such as a homeowners association, might take responsibility for a SCM. Legal obligations for operation, maintenance, inspection and repair of SCMs will be identified in the O&M documents. O&M Agreements are typically executed between the property owner and a local government jurisdiction (i.e. municipal or county department). An O&M Agreement and Plan are legally binding documents that lists the SCMs and their legally defined locations, ownership, operation and maintenance requirements. Inspection frequency, funding requirements and access easements to the SCMs are also a necessary part of all O&M Plans.
Warren County Recorder's Office has specific requirements for all documents to be recorded. If these guidelines are not followed, a $20 fee will ensue.
Please contact Warren Co SWCD if you would like examples of O&M documents!
