Murrieta Municipal Code Art. 4 Existing Development and Litter Control

A. General Requirements. In a manner consistent with the NPDES permit, existing development and operations (whether fixed or mobile) shall prevent pollutants from entering runoff and shall control runoff so as to prevent any deterioration of water quality that would impair subsequent or competing uses of the water.

B. Existing Development and Operations. Each person in charge of day-today operations of an existing development and operations facility in the city shall implement minimum BMPs as necessary to comply with the NPDES permit. For those existing development and operations that are tributary to impaired water bodies and/or are directly adjacent to or discharging directly to receiving waters, BMPs shall include additional controls as required by the NPDES permit.

C. Common Interest Areas, Homeowners' Associations, Property Management Organizations and Mobil Home Parks. Each person who owns, operates, or is in charge of day-to-day activities of common interest areas on private property in the city shall ensure that runoff from within common interest areas, including private roads, drainage facilities, and other components of the stormwater conveyance system, meets the objectives of the NPDES permit and this chapter.
