Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. More <br />information may' be found at www.cleanwaterprogram.org. <br />23. Applicant shall reduce storm water pollution by implementing the following pollution <br />source control measures: <br />a) Structures shall be designed to discourage the occurrence and entry of pests into <br />buildings, thus minimizing the need for pesticides. The trash area shall be separated <br />from the rest of the building by concrete or masonry walls so that pests that gain access <br />to the area are less likely to access the rest of the building. <br />b) All storm drains shall be marked "NO DUMPING, DRAINS TO BAY" <br />c) All on-site storm drains shall be inspected and, if necessary, cleaned at least twice a <br />year immediately prior to the rainy season. <br />d) Sidewalks and parking lots shall be swept regularly to minimize the accumulation of <br />litter and debris. Steam cleaning or low volume pressure washing may be performed <br />only after pre-cleaning using dry methods, spot cleaning and recovery in stained areas <br />and removal of all mobile pollutants. Debris resulting from pressure washing shall be <br />trapped and collected to prevent entry into the storm drain system. Wash water <br />containing any soap, cleaning agent or degreaser shall not be discharged to the storm <br />drain. <br />e) Interior floor drains and parking garage floor drains (if any) shall not be connected to <br />the storm drain system. <br />f) Air conditioning condensate shall be directed to landscaped areas. Any air <br />conditioning condensate that discharges to land without flowing to a storm drain may be <br />subject to the requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board's (SWRCB) <br />Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for Discharges to Land with <br />a Low Threat to Water Quality. <br />g) Landscaping shall be designed to minimize irrigation and runoff, promote surface <br />infiltration where appropriate, and minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides that can <br />contribute to storm water pollution. <br />h) Where feasible, landscaping shall be designed and operated to treat storm water runoff <br />by incorporating elements that collect, detain, and infiltrate runoff. In areas that provide <br />detention of water, plants that are tolerant of saturated soil conditions and prolonged <br />exposure to water shall be specified. <br />i) Plant materials selected shall be appropriate to site specific characteristics such as soil <br />type, topography, climate, amount and timing of sunlight, prevailing winds, rainfall, air <br />movement, patterns of land use, ecological consistency and plant interactions to ensure <br />successful establishment. <br />j) Proper maintenance of landscaping, with minimal pesticide use, shall be the <br />responsibility of the property owner. <br />k) Irrigation shall be appropriate to the water requirements of the selected plants. <br />1) Applicant shall select pest- and disease-resistant plants. <br />m) Applicant shall plant a diversity of species to prevent a potential pest infestation from <br />affecting the entire landscaping plan. <br />n) Applicant shall plant "insectary" plants in the landscaping to attract and keep beneficial <br />insects. <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />
