Source control is a practice that relies on preventative measures to stop pollutants before they enter the city’s storm system and subsequently end up in receiving waters. Source Control aims to address accumulation of non-point source pollutants such as fertilizers, paint, oil and grease, and wash water that originate from daily business/site activities, spill incidents, improper disposal, or other indirect sources. As such, the SPSC program will reduce pollutants in surface water runoff from public and private commercial and industr ial land uses that discharge into the city’s stormwater system. The implementation process of this new program is required to meet the following timeline: A. Source Control Ordinance: By August 1, 2022, the city must adopt and make effective an ordinance t o require the application of SPSC best management practices (BMPs) from pollutant -generating sources associated with existing land uses and activities. This ordinance must define the purpose and applicability of the Source Control Program as well as address the right of entry for inspections, establish a progressive enforcement process, and describe any applicable fines and penalties for pollutant discharges not resolved through education and outreach. This ordinance will introduce multiple code amendment to Development Regulations in Title IV. B. Source Control Inventory: By August 1, 2022, the city must establish an inventory of public and private properties institutional, commercial, and industrial sites with potential to release pollutants into the st ormwater system. C. Implementation: By January 1, 2023, the city must implement an on -going inspection program and progressive enforcement policy.
