§ 15.03.050. Construction sites requiring a building permit and/or a grading plan.

(a)

Any person or company engaging in construction activity that requires an NPDES construction permit must demonstrate possession of such permit before grading and/or building permits can be issued. The NPDES permit shall be retained on site and shall be shown to City officers or inspectors at their request.

(b)

The following best management practices shall apply to all construction sites:

(1)

Runoff sediment and construction waste from construction sites and parking areas shall not leave the site.

(2)

Any sediments or other materials which are tracked off the site shall be removed the same day as they are tracked off the site. Where determined necessary by the Building Official or the Building Official's designated representative, a sediment barrier shall be installed.

(3)

Excavated soil shall be located on the site in a manner that eliminates the possibility of sediments running into the street or adjoining properties. Soil piles shall be covered until the soil is either used or removed.

(4)

The washing of concrete, oil, gas, or debris into public streets or storm drain systems is prohibited. Such activity shall be conducted on the construction site only, providing contaminants are disposed of properly.
