Requirement to prevent, control, and reduce stormwater pollutants
by the use of best management practices. The Town will adopt requirements
identifying best management practices for any activity, operation,
or facility which may cause or contribute to pollution or contamination
of stormwater, the storm drain system, or waters of the United States.
The owner or operator of a commercial or industrial establishment
shall provide, at their own expense, reasonable protection from accidental
discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes into the municipal
storm drain system or watercourses through the use of these structural
and nonstructural BMPs. Further, any person responsible for a property
or premises, which is, or may be, the source of an illicit discharge,
may be required to implement, at that person's expense, additional
structural and nonstructural BMPs to prevent the further discharge
of pollutants to the municipal separate storm sewer system. Compliance
with all terms and conditions of a valid NPDES permit authorizing
the discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity, to
the extent practicable, shall be deemed compliance with the provisions
of this section. These BMPs shall be part of a stormwater pollution
prevention plan (SWPP) as necessary for compliance with requirements
of the NPDES permit.
