(A) This section shall apply to all discharges, including illegal dumping, entering the storm drain system under the control of the city, regardless of whether the discharge originates from developed or undeveloped lands, and regardless of whether the discharge is generated from an active construction site or a stabilized site. These discharges include flows from direct connections to the storm drain system, illegal dumping and contaminated run-off.
(B) Any nonstormwater discharge permitted under an NPDES permit, waiver or waste discharge order issued to the discharger and administered under the authority of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, provided that the discharger is in full compliance with all requirements of the permit, waiver or order and other applicable laws and regulations, and provided that written approval has been granted for the subject discharge to the storm drain system, is exempted from this section.
(C) Finally, any construction project which has had its drainage plan approved by the city prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be exempt from all requirements of this chapter that are in excess of the requirements of ordinances in effect at the time of approval.
