Stormwater and Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program
Checklist for Source Control and Low Impact Development BMPs
For All New and Redevelopment Projects.
PERMIT _____________
The following source control and LID BMPs must be implemented at all development projects
where applicable and feasible. Applicant shall add a construction note(s) on the plans for all
required/proposed LID BMPs that will be implemented as well as the location of the LID BMP on
the grading and/or site plan as applicable. Please check each required source control.
Source Control BMP Requirements Required
(a) Prevention of illicit discharges into the City’s drainage system (e.g., public streets, parking lots,
storm drain system) including sprinkler and irrigation runoff.
(b) Projects must comply with the City’s landscape and water conservation ordinances, Title 9,
Section 3.527
(c) Place sprinkler systems a minimum of 6 inches from edge of irrigated area to minimize
overspray.
(d) Sweep streets and parking lots every two (2) weeks, at a minimum, if such action is not
provided as part of City service.
(e) Install dry weather flow diversion inlets such as open bottom catch basins or perforated bottom
inlets with a minimum of 2 feet of ¾ inch gravel, where conditions allow for infiltration.
(f) If soil conditions do not allow infiltration, the catch basin must include a mechanism to
prevent/reduce sediment in drainage pipe, such as raised perforated pipe or other filter insert.
(g) Properly design outdoor material storage areas, outdoor work areas, and trash storage areas to
eliminate pollutants from migrating by rainfall, run-on, runoff, and wind dispersal into the
drainage system.
(h) All new or redeveloped commercial or multi-family residence property must include pollution
prevention controls for common area trash enclosures such as closed roof, run-on/runoff berms,
and within the enclosure a permitted drain to the sanitary sewer system.
(i) Stencil, sign, or otherwise mark, with approval from the City, the storm drain system with no
dumping messages
(j) Any additional BMPs determined to be necessary by the City to minimize pollutant generation at
each project location.

The following LID BMPs must be implemented at all development projects, where applicable and
feasible. Priority Development Projects must retain (e.g. intercept, store, infiltrate) onsite, the
volume of storm water runoff produced from a 24-hour 85th percentile storm event.
Low Impact Development (LID) BMP Requirements Required
(a) Maintenance or restoration of natural storage reservoirs and drainage corridors
(including topographic depressions, areas of permeable soils, natural swales, and
ephemeral and intermittent streams)
(b) Buffer zones for natural water bodies (where buffer zones are technically infeasible,
require project applicant to include other buffers such as trees, access restrictions,
etc.).
(c) Conservation of natural areas within the project footprint including existing trees,
other vegetation, and soils.
(d) Construction of streets, sidewalks, or parking lot aisles to the minimum widths
necessary, provided public safety is not compromised.
(e) Minimization of the impervious footprint of the project.
(f) Minimization of soil compaction to landscaped areas.
(g) Disconnection of impervious surfaces through distributed pervious areas by directing
drains into adjacent landscape by using techniques such as, but not limited to:
i. vegetated swales in lieu of underground piping,
ii. incorporating sheet flow over vegetated areas, or
iii. Incorporating low flow infiltration.
(h) Landscaped or other pervious areas designed and constructed to effectively receive
and infiltrate, retain and/or treat runoff from impervious areas, prior to discharging to
the MS4.
(i) Small collection strategies located at, or as close as possible to, the source (e.g., the
point where storm water initially meets the ground) to minimize the transport of runoff
and pollutants to the MS4 and receiving waters.
(j) All v-gutters or swales must have a minimum 1-foot bench on the upstream side to
reduce the introduction of sediment into drainage feature. Bench may be landscaped
to help capture sediment.
(k) All v-gutter or swales must have a bench incorporating sediment control measures
such as fiber rolls following construction until slope vegetation is established.
(l) Use of permeable materials for projects with low traffic areas and appropriate soil
conditions.
(m) Landscaping with native or drought tolerant species.
(n) Harvesting and re-use of precipitation (e.g., rain barrels).
