Alhambra Municipal Code Ch. 16.34 Storm Water and Urban Runoff Pollution Control

(A) For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.

AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE FACILITY. A facility in any one of the following Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes: 5013, 5014, 5541, 5511, 7532-7534, or 7536-7539.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES or BMPs. Methods, measures, schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce pollutants in discharges to the MS4 and thence into waters of the United States. BMPs include treatment requirements, operating procedures and practices to control runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal and drainage from raw material storage; public education and outreach; proper planning of development projects; structural and non-structural controls; and operations and maintenance procedures which can be applied before, during and after pollution producing activities, including, but not limited to proper clean-out of catch basins and proper waste handling and disposal. See 40 C.F.R. § 122.2

CONDITIONALLY EXEMPT ESSENTIAL NON-STORM WATER DISCHARGE. Conditionally exempt essential non-storm water discharges are certain categories of discharges that are not composed entirely of storm water and that are allowed by the Regional Water Board to discharge to the MS4, if in compliance with all specified requirements; are not otherwise regulated by an individual or general NPDES permit; and are essential public services that are directly or indirectly required by other State or federal statute and/or regulation. These include non-storm water discharges from drinking water supplier distribution system releases and nonemergency fire fighting activities. Conditionally exempt essential non-storm water discharges may contain minimal amounts of pollutants, however, when in compliance with industry standard BMPs and control measures, do not result in significant environmental effects. (See 55 Fed. Reg. 47990, 47995 (Nov. 16, 1990)).

CONDITIONALLY EXEMPT NON-STORM WATER DISCHARGE. Conditionally exempt non-storm water discharges are certain categories of discharges that are not composed entirely of storm water and that are either not sources of pollutants or may contain only minimal amounts of pollutants and when in compliance with specified BMPs do not result in significant environmental effects. (See 55 Fed. Reg. 47990, 47995 (Nov. 16, 1990)).
