ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE 10 OF THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT CODE, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND DISCHARGE CONTROL, TO MAKE EDITORIAL AND CLARIFYING CHANGES IN CONFORMANCE WITH SAN DIEGO REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD ORDER NO. R9-2013-0001 (MUNICIPAL PERMIT)
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The District maintains legal authority to enforce its storm water program and to effectively prohibit illegal discharges to San Diego Bay from the public tidelands that it holds in trust through Article 10 of the District Code, Stormwater Management and Discharge Control Ordinance ("Article 10"). The District first adopted Article 10 in 2000 to comply with the Regional Water Quality Control Board's San Diego County Municipal Storm Water Permit Order No. 2001-01 ("Municipal Permit"). From time to time the District amends Article 10 (as well as other District Code provisions) in order ensure conformance with applicable rules and regulations and enforcement practices, and to make clarifications where appropriate. The District amended Article 10 in 2007 and 2015 with these goals in mind. District staff now recommends additional amendments to Article 10 to make editorial and clarifying changes as set forth in the Attachment A. The proposed amendments include typo corrections and added text intended to provide improved definition regarding the District's administration of its storm water program. These changes will help support the District's continued efforts to protect Bay water quality and ensure the District's continued compliance with the Municipal Permit.
RECOMMENDATION:
