<br />CITY OF ROSEVILLE
<br />STORM WATER ILLICIT DISCHARGE AND CONNECTIONS ORDINANCE
<br />803.03: STORM WATER ILLICIT DISCHARGE AND CONNECTIONS
<br />~ A. Purpose:
<br />3 The purpose of the ordinance is to promote, preserve and enhance the natural resources within the City
<br />4 and protect them from adverse effects caused by non-storm water discharge by regulating discharges
<br />5 that would have an adverse and potentially irreversible impact on water quality and environmentally
<br />6 sensitive land. This ordinance will provide for the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of
<br />7 the City of Roseville through the regulation of non-storm water discharges to the storm drainage system
<br />8 to the maximum extent practicable as required by federal and state law. This ordinance establishes
<br />9 methods for controlling the introduction of pollutants into the municipal separate storm sewer system
<br />10 (MS4) in order to comply with requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
<br />11 (NPDES) permit process. The objectives of this ordinance are:
<br />12 1. To regulate the contribution of pollutants to the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) by
<br />13 storm water discharges by any person.
<br />14 2. To prohibit Illicit Connections and Discharges to the municipal separate storm sewer system
<br />l 5 3. To establish legal authority to carry out all inspection, surveillance and monitoring procedures
<br />16 necessary to ensure compliance with this ordinance
<br />17 B. Definitions:
<br />1$ For the purposes of this ordinance, the following terms, phrases, words and their derivatives shall have
<br />19 the meaning stated below.
<br />20 l . BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE (BMP): Erosion and sediment control and water quality
<br />21 management practices that are the most effective and practicable means of controlling, preventing, and
<br />22 minimizing the degradation of surface water, including construction-phasing, minimizing the length of
<br />' dine soil areas are exposed, prohibitions, and other management practices published by state or
<br />~~ designated area-wide planning agencies.
<br />25 (i) Nan-structural BMP: Practices that focus on preserving open space, protecting natural systems, and
<br />26 incorporating existing landscape features such as wetlands and stream corridors to manage storm
<br />27 water at its source. Other practices include clustering and concentrating development, minimizing
<br />28 disturbed areas, and reducing the size of impervious areas.
<br />29 (ii) Structural BMP: a physical device that is typically designed and constructed to trap or filter
<br />30 pollutants from runoff, or reduce runoff velocities.
<br />31 2. DISCHARGE: Adding, introducing, releasing, leaking, spilling, casting, throwing, or emitting any
<br />32 pollutant, or placing any pollutant in a location where it is likely to pollute waters of the state.
<br />33 3. EQUIPMENT: Implements used in an operation or activity. Examples include, but are not limited to;
<br />34 lawn mowers, weed whips, shovels, wheelbarrows and construction equipment.
<br />35 4. EROSION: any process that wears away the surface of the land by the action of water, wind, ice, or
<br />36 gravity. Erosion can be accelerated by the activities of man and nature.
<br />37 5. GROUNDWATER: Water contained below the surface of the earth in the saturated zone including,
<br />38 without Iimitation, all waters whether under conned, unconfined, or perched conditions, in near
<br />39 surface unconsolidated sediment or regolith, or in rock formations deeper underground.
<br />40 6. ILLEGAL/ ILLICIT DISCHARGE: Any direct or indirect non-storm water discharge to the storm
<br />41 drainage system, except as exempted in this chapter.
<br />42 7. ILLICIT CONNECTION: Either of the following:
<br />43 (i) Any drain or conveyance, whether on the surface or subsurface, which allows an illegal discharge to
<br />44 enter the storm drain system {including any non-storm water discharge) including wastewater,
<br />"S process wastewater, and wash water and any connections to the storm drain system from indoor
<br />drains and sinks, regardless of whether said drain or connection had been previously allowed,
<br />47 permitted, or approved by the City; or,
