The City of Belle Meade adopted a stormwater ordinance on September 15, 2004 to comply with Phase II of the NPDES program as administered by the Tennessee Division of Water Pollution Control. The ordinance provides for a Construction/Post-Construction Runoff Control Program development requiring specific erosion and sediment control practices for disturbed areas greater than one (1) acre or as otherwise specified in Section 3 of the stormwater ordinance.

The goal of the stormwater ordinance, the two BMP Manuals produced by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, and Belle Meade’s  Supplemental BMP Manual is to improve the quality of stormwater runoff in the City by regulating construction and long-term maintenance activities and providing the tools necessary for meeting the regulations.
