Welcome to the 5-2-1 Drainage Authority (5-2-1 DA)
web site. The 5-2-1 DA was formed in June 2004 via an Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) between the City of Grand Junction, the City
of Fruita, the Town of Palisade, Mesa County, and the Grand Valley
Drainage District (formerly the Grand Junction Drainage District).
The Authority is responsible for Stormwater Services within its
service area. For more information on the area covered by the
5-2-1 DA, please click here.
The 5-2-1 DA was formed in order to protect people and property
from flooding, to comply with federal environmental regulations
regarding water quality, and to provide a funding mechanism so
that the stormwater services can be performed. Please call us
with your questions or concerns at (970) 263-7401. You may also email us at 521DA@gvii.net.
This site is to inform the public about the 5-2-1 DA. On this
web site, you will find the following information:
- The 5-2-1 DA’s service area
- Why the 5-2-1 DA was formed
- The 5-2-1 DA’s responsibilities
and services provided
Please check back regularly, as additional information will
be posted to this site in the coming months. Thank you for
visiting.
***NEW Stormwater Permit Process***
Construction Stormwater Management Plans (CSWMPs) and Stormwater Construction Permit (SCPs) for construction and development projects have been required in the urbanized area of Mesa County (which includes Grand Junction and Palisade) since 2006. In the past, these permits were obtained from the local jurisdiction after completion of the development review and approval process. Beginning January 1, 2009, the City of Grand Junction, Mesa County, and the Town of Palisade transferred the responsibility to review the CSWMPs and issue the SCPs to the 5-2-1 Drainage Authority. Please note that the local permit through the Authority replaces the City, County, or Town Permit, but does not replace the Permit required by the State. You need both. Also, please note that there is no local permit in Fruita at the present time, only the State permit. Authority forms and guidance can be found at the links below. CSWMP submittals are part of the overall development review package and should still go through the planning department of the local jurisdiction. Use our form, write the review fee check to the "5-2-1 Drainage Authority" and include both with the development review package submitted to the local Planning Department. They will forward it on to us. When all approvals have been obtained on the development proposal, you may submit the SCP form and permit/inspection fee directly to the Authority. If you have any questions please call us at (970) 263-7401. |
