A. Each industrial discharger, discharger associated with construction activity, or other discharger described in any general stormwater permit addressing such discharges, as may be granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the State Water Resources Control Board, or the Regional Board shall comply with all requirements of such permit.
1. Each discharger identified in an individual NPDES permit shall comply with and undertake all activities required by such permit.
2. Proof of compliance with any such permit may be required in a form acceptable to the Director, prior to the issuance of any grading or building permit, or any other type of permit or license issued by the City.
B. Stormwater runoff containing sediment, construction materials or other pollutants from the construction site and any adjacent staging, storage or parking areas shall be reduced to the MEP. The following requirements shall apply to all construction projects within the City and shall be required from the time of land clearing, demolition or commencement of construction until receipt of a Final Inspection or Certificate of Occupancy, whichever is the last required City approval:
1. Sediment, construction waste, trash and other pollutants from construction activities shall be reduced to the MEP.
2. Structural controls, such as sediment barriers, plastic sheeting, detention ponds, filters, berms and similar controls, shall be utilized to the MEP in order to minimize the escape of sediment and other pollutants from the site.
3. Between October 1st and April 15th of each year, all excavated soil shall be located on-site in a manner that minimizes the amount of sediment running onto the street, drainage facilities or adjacent properties. Soil piles shall be bermed or covered with plastic or similar materials until the soil is either used or removed from the site.
4. No washing of construction or other vehicles is permitted adjacent to a construction site. No water from the washing of construction vehicles or equipment on the construction site is permitted to run off the construction site and enter the municipal storm drain system.
5. Trash receptacles must be situated at convenient locations on construction sites, and must be maintained in such a manner that trash and litter does not accumulate on-site nor migrate off site.
6. Erosion from slopes and channels must be controlled through an effective use of BMPs.
C. The property owner or his or her authorized representative must certify, in a form acceptable to the Director, that BMPs to control runoff from construction activities will be implemented to the MEP prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit.
D. A Local Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and Wet Weather Erosion Control Plan for construction activities shall be submitted to the Director consistent with the Municipal NPDES Permit. Such plans must be reviewed and approved by the Director prior to the issuance of any building or grading permit.
