-CODE OF ORDINANCES Chapter 30- LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARTICLE VII. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT b. Fuel and chemical residue or other types of potentially harmful material, such as animal waste, garbage or batteries shall be removed as soon as possible and disposed of properly. Hazardous waste must be disposed of at an appropriate disposal site and shall not be placed in a trash container. (d) Industrial or construction activity discharges. Any person subject to an industrial or construction activity NPDES stormwater discharge permit shall comply with all provisions of such permit. Proof of compliance with said permit may be required in a form acceptable to the city prior to the allowing of discharges to the storm sewer system. All facilities that have stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, including construction activity must adhere to the following guidelines: (1) The owner or operator of a commercial or industrial establishment shall provide, at their own expense, reasonable protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes into the storm sewer system or watercourses through the use of structural and non- structural BMPs. (2) Any person responsible for a property or premise, which is, the source of an illicit discharge, shall be required to implement, at said person's expense, additional structural and non- structural BMPs to prevent the further discharge of pollutants to the storm sewer system. These BMPs shall be part of a storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) as necessary for compliance with requirements of the NPDES permit. (e) Construction and building site activity. Construction sites and landscaping projects are especially susceptible to erosion and pollution. For this reason, construction site operators must control waste such as discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, petroleum products, litter, and sanitary waste at the construction site that may cause adverse impacts to water quality. The developer shall be held responsible for adherence to these required prevention and control measures: (1) A designated area shall be provided on site for concrete truck washout. The area shall be constructed so as to contain washout material and be located at least 50 feet away from any storm drain inlet or receiving water during construction. Upon completion of construction activities the concrete washout material will be removed and properly disposed of prior to the area being restored. (2) The guidelines below should be followed concerning debris storage and disposal: a. Daily cleanup of construction site shall be performed to ensure that all litter is contained in an appropriate enclosure or container so as not to accumulate on the ground. b. Operators must keep solid waste materials in either a container or an enclosed waste collection area. c. Empty/unused chemical containers must be disposed of in accordance with label instructions. d. Potentially hazardous waste must be separated from non-hazardous waste. e. Recycling of waste materials is encouraged when possible. f. All construction site wastes must be disposed of at authorized disposal facilities. (3) Rock construction entrances shall be constructed at all city-approved entrances. Construction accesses not approved by the city should be adequately blocked to prevent unwanted traffic. a. Site access roads shall be graded or otherwise protected with silt fences, diversion channels, or dikes and pipes to prevent sediment from exiting the site via the access roads.
