Stormwater runoff may contain pollutants that are suspended in, or dissolved in, urban and stormwater discharges. The sources of the pollutants include most developed properties with the concentrations and types of pollutants varying with land use activities. The aggregate contribution of these individual pollutant discharges can result in significant impairment to the water bodies, oceans, and harbors in Los Angeles County. To address these stormwater pollution issues in development and construction projects, the municipal stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit was issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. The requirement for the program was based on Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act, Section 6217 of the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990 (CZARA) and the California Water Code. In addition to the requirements for industrial waste as set forth in Chapter 13.40 of this code, the purpose of this chapter is to protect the environment, improve water quality of receiving waters, and protect the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the city by:
A. 
Complying with all federal and state laws, lawful standards and orders applicable to stormwater and urban runoff pollution control;
B. 
Prohibiting any discharges which may interfere with the operation of, or cause any damage to the storm drain system;
C. 
Prohibiting and eliminating illicit discharges and illegal connections to the storm drain system;
D. 
Reducing stormwater runoff pollution to the maximum extent practicable;
E. 
Reducing nonstormwater discharges to the storm drain system to the maximum extent practicable;
F. 
Reducing pollutant loads in stormwater and urban runoff from land uses and activities identified in the municipal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit; and
G. 
Providing regulations and giving legal effect to certain requirements of that certain NPDES permit issued to Los Angeles County and 85 cities by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, on November 8, 2012, and as may subsequently be amended.
