ii. Avoid increases in stormwater discharge velocities by using vegetated or roughened swales and waterways in place of closed drains and high velocity paved sections:

iii. Provide energy dissipaters at outlets of storm drainage system to reduce flow velocities to the point of discharge;

iv. Protect watercourses subject to accelerated erosion by improving cross sections and/or providing erosion-resistant lining; and

v. Upgrade or replace the receiving device structure, or watercourse such that it will receive and conduct the flow to a point where it is no longer subject to degradation from the increased rate of flow or increased velocity.

D. Exceptions . This rule shall not apply where it can be demonstrated to the Town that stormwater discharge velocities will not create an erosion problem in the receiving watercourse.
