Sec. B11 1/2-1. Purpose and authority of division.

The purpose of this division is to protect surface water quality, comply with federally mandated nonpoint source pollution control measures, comply with the County's Clean Water Program's Storm Water Management Plan and comply with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Discharge Permits issued to the County. NPDES Storm Water Discharge Permits require the County and any co-permittees to implement control measures and best management practices to reduce pollutants in storm water discharges to the maximum extent practicable. The County Clean Water Program's Storm Water Management Plan (Plan), also known as the Urban Runoff Management Plan, serves as the framework for identification, assignment, and implementation of control measures. The NPDES Permit(s), the Plan, and handbooks of Best-Management Practices (BMPs) are on file with the Development Services Office.

The authority for this chapter is contained in the Health and Safety Code Section 5471, the Water Quality Act of 1987 Section 402(p), and in the NPDES Storm Water Discharge Permit(s) issued to the County.

(Ord. No. NS-517.74, § 1, 10-17-06)
