Sec. 754.201. - Stormwater discharges from industrial activities and construction sites.

(a) Using best management practices, stormwater from construction sites shall be controlled to retain sediment on-site and prevent violations of State water quality standards. All erosion and sediment controls required under the pollution prevention plan of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for construction, required by a stormwater permit issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection or the St. Johns River Water Management District, or required by a City permit or approved construction plan shall be properly implemented, maintained and operated. The minimum requirements for controlling stormwater run-off from construction sites are specified in the City Land Development Procedures Manual and its standard specifications and details. (b) Stormwater from areas of construction activity shall be treated or managed on-site, using best management practices, before being discharged to an MS4 or to surface waters. All stormwater discharges from the site shall be of a quality which will not adversely impact the water quality or the beneficial uses of the receiving water. (c) Owners and operators of industrial facilities and/or construction sites that will discharge stormwater to an MS4 shall notify the Office of the City Engineer, in writing, before the discharge begins. The noticed discharge shall not begin earlier than 5:00 p.m. of the next municipal working day after the City Engineer's Office receives the notice. (d) Any person who has been issued an NPDES permit authorizing discharges to the MS4 shall submit a complete copy of the permit to the City NPDES coordinator, within 60 days after the effective date of this Chapter, or 60 days after the issuance, of the permit.
