§ 86-370. Requirement to prevent, control, and reduce stormwater pollutants by the use of best management practices.
Latest version.
The city will adopt policies identifying best management practices for any activity,
operation, or facility which may cause or contribute to pollution or contamination
of stormwater, the stormwater system, or waters of the United States. The owner or
operator of a commercial or industrial establishment shall provide, at their own expense,
reasonable protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes
into the municipal storm drain system or watercourses through the use of these structural
and nonstructural BMPs. Further, any person responsible for a property or premises,
which is, or may be, the source of an illicit discharge, may be required to implement,
at said person's expense, additional structural and nonstructural BMPs to prevent
the further discharge of pollutants to the municipal separate storm sewer system.
Compliance with all terms and conditions of a valid NPDES or TPDES permit authorizing
the discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity, to the extent practicable,
shall be deemed in compliance with the provisions of this section. These BMPs shall
be part of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) as necessary for compliance
with requirements of the NPDES and/or TPDES permit.
