08/29/2025 GTCSW is pleased to announce that the GTCSW Design Manual has been updated and edited for clarity.

This new version includes revised language and improved formatting to ensure the practices are more accessible and easier to follow for all users of the manual.  The core design principles remain the same, but the updated manual provides a more streamlined and intuitive experience. Linked here is the summary of changes:  GTC Stormwater Design Manual Executive Summary July 2025
We encourage everyone to review the new document, which is available now on our website on the menu to button  GTC Stormwater Design Manual 2025

Electronic Submission:

Please send each item listed on the Stormwater Submittal Checklist in an email to stormwater@gtcounty.org. Send each item on the checklist as a properly labeled separate attachment and identify it in the body of the email. As an option, large files can be submitted through a cloud based storage service such as Dropbox. If multiple emails are sent due to file size limitations, indicate the number of attachments included within each email, e.g., ‘Email #1 of 3 with 4 attachments, email #2 of 3 with 4 attachments, etc.’  For example, the BMP Agreement is a small file that can be labeled as the BMP Agreement and sent as an attachment.  Site plans and SWPPP’s are typically large files that can be sent via Dropbox. These should all be listed in the body of the email(s) and sent to stormwater@gtcounty.org.

The 10-day Public Notice period will begin after all required fees and documents are received by this office. The review process will begin shortly thereafter.
