(A) The purpose of this subchapter is to establish requirements for the installation of permanent stormwater quality features designed to intercept and filter pollutants in stormwater discharges from newly developed or redeveloped construction sites of one acre or more.
(B) Through the use and installation of stormwater quality BMPs, stormwater runoff from these sites will be filtered and harmful amounts of sediment, nutrients, and contaminants will be removed prior to reaching regional creeks, streams, and rivers. The control of stormwater quality will be based on the management of total suspended solids (TSS).
