Sec. 72-5. — Definitions.
Best Management Practices (BMPs) means various activities, prohibitions of practices,

municipal stormwater system and/or waters of the state. Examples of structural BMPs
may include permanent detention or retention ponds constructed to control and
minimize stormwater runoff rates and volumes and to prevent, control, and minimize
stormwater pollution. Non-structural BMPs may include ongoing treatment
requirements, operating procedures, and practices to control site runoff, spillage or
leaks, sludge or water disposal, or drainage from raw materials storage. BMPs may
also be temporary, such as BMPs put into place during construction and maintained
until the site is permanently stabilized.
Sec. 72-75. — Operation and Maintenance of BMPs ''
Permanent structural and/or nonstructural BMPs shall be implemented to control and '
minimize stormwater runoff rates and volumes and to prevent, control, and minimize
stormwater pollutants as required in this Chapter.

location of the discharge, type of pollutant, concentration and volume, if known,
and corrective actions taken by the owner. The owner shall document and submit
to the City Engineer all pertinent information.

notification shall include the location failure, type and extent of the failure, if
known, and corrective actions taken by the owner. The owner shall document

require the owner to implement additional structural and/or nonstructural BMPs to
prevent the further discharge of pollutants to the City's storm water drainage system.
