The City Engineer may require best management practices (BMPs) for any activity, operation, or facility which may cause or contribute to the introduction of pollutants to rights-of-way, wetlands, drainage ways, the municipal storm water system, receiving waters, and/or areas that include or contribute directly to the waters of the State. Where BMP requirements are promulgated by the City Engineer, the owner or operator of such activity, operation, or facility shall provide, at their own expense, reasonable protection from the discharge of pollutants, as described above, through the use of these structural and/or nonstructural BMPs.

Further, any person responsible for a property or premises that is, or which may reasonably be expected to be, the source of an illicit or prohibited discharge may be required to implement, at said person’s expense, additional structural and nonstructural BMPs to prevent any further discharges of pollutants.
