Any activity, operation, or facility which may cause or contribute to the pollution or contamination of the city MS4 conveyance system shall incorporate technical standards and design methods specified in the city Stormwater Management Plan Checklist and/or the Operation and Maintenance Plan for Structural Best Management Practices. The owner, operator, and/or responsible party of any facility shall provide, at their own expense, reasonable protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes into the MS4 conveyance system through the use of these structural and non-structural BMPs. Further, any person responsible for a property or premise, which is, or may be, the source of an illicit discharge, may be required to implement, at said 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 stormwater associated with industrial activity, to the extent practicable, shall be deemed compliance with the provisions of this section. These BMPs shall be part of a stormwater pollution prevention plan as necessary for compliance with requirements of the NPDES permit.
