To minimize the discharge of pollutants to the MS4, industrial and commercial facilities must install, implement, and maintain BMPs consistent with the California Stormwater Quality Association Best Management Practice Handbooks or equivalent.

The city may adopt additional requirements identifying appropriate BMPs including, but not limited to, source control and post construction treatment control measures to control the volume, rate, and potential pollutant load of stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment projects as may be appropriate to minimize the generation, transport and discharge of pollutants. The city shall incorporate such requirements in any land use entitlement and construction or building-related permit to be issued relative to such development or redevelopment. The selection and the design of the BMPs, including post-construction treatment control measures, shall be per the city’s stormwater policy and design standards and per the applicable NPDES permit issued to the city and other available guidance documents.

Final occupancy shall not be authorized until such time the BMPs and post-construction treatment measures are properly installed and provisions for long-term maintenance of these BMPs and treatment measures are accepted by the city. (Ord. 2546 NCS §2 (part), 2015; Ord. 2209 NCS §1 (part), 2005.)
