BACKGROUND 
 
3. 
The Gilbert Storm Water Master Plan (STUDY) will develop a comprehensive Storm Water 
Master Plan for Gilbert which is designated as a regulated municipal separate sewer system (MS4). The 
Master Plan will be completed in accordance with applicable statutes and requirements and will focus 
on storm water including, but not limited to: storm water infrastructure, permit compliance and 
coordination, floodplain mapping, storm water drainage issues, system resiliency, data evaluation, 
capital planning, future infrastructure impacts, future rate study planning, compliance with the National 
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards, coordination with the Flood Control 
District of Maricopa County’s upcoming Gilbert Chandler Area Drainage Master Study/Plan Update 
and will provide a methodology for regular Storm Water Master Plan updates. 
 
The Comprehensive Master Plan may result in future Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 
Projects. The Projects will be developed to provide mitigation for storms of 10-year return period or 
greater. The Master Plan may cover a planning horizon of up to 20 years. This IGA will define roles and 
responsibilities, cost share agreements and operation & maintenance responsibilities between GILBERT 
and the DISTRICT.
