Best management practices. Where the SMO has identified illicit discharges as defined in §
292-13, or activities contaminating stormwater as defined in §
292-17, the municipality may require implementation of best management practices (BMPs) to control those illicit discharges and activities.
A. The owner or operator of a commercial or industrial establishment
shall provide, at his or her own expense, reasonable protection from
accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes into
the MS4 through the use of structural and nonstructural BMPs.
B. Any person responsible for a property or premises which is, or may be, the source of an illicit discharge as defined in §
292-13 or an activity contaminating stormwater as defined in §
292-17, may be required to implement, at said person's expense, additional structural and nonstructural BMPs to reduce or eliminate the source of pollutant(s) to the MS4.
C. Compliance with all terms and conditions of a valid SPDES permit
authorizing the discharge of stormwater associated with industrial
activity, to the extent practicable, shall be deemed compliance with
the provisions of this section.
Any person subject to an industrial or construction activity
SPDES 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 municipality prior to the allowing of
discharges to the MS4.
