§ 152.012 YORK COUNTY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.
   (A)   The SWMP developed by the county to comply with the NPDES Stormwater Permit serves as the basis for the county’s program implementation and administration. The SWMP, as amended from time to time by the county, is hereby adopted for the life of York County’s Stormwater System NPDES permit as the official operational SWMP. The mapping and geographic information system developed as part of the SWMP shall serve as the official authoritative information source for program administration.
   (B)   The Stormwater Administrator shall implement and conduct the county’s operations according to the SWMP. The SWMP serves as the basis for compliance with the NPDES Stormwater Permit granted to York County under the provisions of the Water Quality Act of 1987 and 40 CFR 122.26. This SWMP is more fully described in the NPDES Stormwater Permit which defines the terms and conditions of York County’s authority to operate its stormwater system. By way of summary only, the SWMP includes the following mandated elements:
      (1)   A description of structural and source control measures to reduce pollutants from runoff from commercial and residential areas, the “Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopment Minimum Measure”;
      (2)   A description of a program, including a schedule, to detect and remove illicit discharges and improper disposal into the stormwater system or to require the discharger to the stormwater system to obtain a separate NPDES permit, the “Illicit Discharges and Improper Disposal Program”; and
      (3)   A description of a program to implement and maintain structural and non-structural best management practices to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction sites to the stormwater system, the “Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Minimum Measure.”
