§ 20-88. Requirements to prevent, control and reduce stormwater pollutants by the use of best management practices.

(a)

All persons engaged in activities, which will or may reasonably be expected to result in pollutants entering the municipal storm drain system shall undertake best management practices (BMPs) to minimize such pollutants, shall provide protection from accidental discharge of pollutants to the MS4 and comply with cleanup and notification requirements of this article. Such measures shall include the requirements imposed by federal, state, and local authorities. BMPs are activity specific and are described in the document "Stormwater Management Practices" (EPA 832-R-92-006) or other guidance documents available from EPA and/or LDEQ.

(b)

If a specific best management practice is required by the director to prevent a pollutant from entering the municipal storm drain system, the person receiving the notice of such requirement may petition the director to reconsider the application of the BMP to the premises or activity. The written petition must be received within ten (10) working days setting forth any reasons and proposed alternatives. The director will act within thirty (30) days of the petition.
