The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the City through the regulation of non-storm-water discharges to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), to the maximum extent practicable, as required by federal and State law. This chapter establishes methods for controlling the introduction of soil and construction debris into the MS4 in order to comply with requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II permit and the Federal Clean Water Act. The objectives of this chapter relating to construction site erosion and sediment control (during new construction) are to:
1. Retain soil on residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and roadway construction sites. Soil erosion from these sites can result in a change in the natural cover, topography, or drainage from the land, and can significantly interfere with existing drainage courses established.
2. Reduce erosion from construction sites that may cause obstructions on roadways, restrict storm sewer capacity, create silt in road ditches, increase road and storm sewer maintenance costs, cause dust and mud on streets and sidewalks, leave deposits of silt in creeks and streams, and increase the potential for flooding.
3. Reduce the occurrence of soil erosion and sedimentation that result in damage caused by the change in a course as a result of nonagricultural earth-moving activities.
4. Require the issuance of a General Permit #2 and approval of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prior to the occurrence of any grading activity on a new construction site as required by the City.
5. Establish legal authority to conduct review of a permit application and inspection of construction site to ensure compliance with this chapter.
6. Investigate, eliminate, and enforce, to the maximum extent practicable, the contribution of soil erosion and construction debris to the MS4 by storm water discharges from new construction sites during storm water events.
