and maintained to achieve the goals of this Part 2. Proper operation
and maintenance also includes as a minimum, the following:

B. Written procedures for operation and maintenance and training new
maintenance personnel.
C. Discharges from the SMPs shall not exceed design criteria or cause or contribute to water quality standard violations in accordance with §

for stormwater management facilities binding on all subsequent landowners
