The Stormwater Board will adopt requirements identifying best management practices (BMPs) for any activity, operation or facility that may cause or contribute to pollution or contamination of storm water, the storm drainage 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 drainage system or watercourses, through the use of these structural and non-structural BMPs. Further, any person responsible for a property or premise that is, or may be, the source of an illegal discharge, may be required to implement, at that person’s expense, additional structural and non-structural 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 permit authorizing the discharge of storm water associated with industrial activity, to the extent practicable, shall be deemed compliant with the provisions of this section. These BMPs shall be part of a storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) as necessary for compliance with requirements of the NPDES permit.
