Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Lincoln, Neb., Mun. Code § 21.05.420, property owners and managers in Lincoln are not subject to the storm drainage obligations that IPMC Section 507 would otherwise impose. Compliant operators generally look to other applicable local, state, or federal drainage and stormwater regulations that may still govern their properties independently of the IPMC. Staying current with Lincoln's full municipal code and any separate stormwater ordinances helps ensure ongoing compliance.
