(b) Urban runoff flows from individual properties onto the streets, then
through storm drains to the beaches. It is therefore in the public interest to
ensure that both public and private drainage systems are properly
maintained, in orderto facilitate the properfunctioning ofthe City's storm and
surface water drainage system, and to prevent pollutants from entering the
Santa Monica Bay.
(c) The number of beach closures in the state due to ocean pollution
have continued to increase, especially in Southern California, while beach
closures have declined in other parts of the nation. Urban runoff is the single
largest source of this ocean pollution, and consequently, is the number one
threat in the state to public health and water quality.
(d) The City of Santa Monica is a co-permittee under the Los Angeles
County National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Permit and as such is obligated to implement a Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plan ("SUSMP") and Best Management Practice ("BMP")
procedures to prevent and control the entry of pollutants into the eity storm
drain system and reduce the overall amount of urban runoff.
(e) In order to better control the quantity and quality of urban runoff
pollution, a program requiring existing properties to adopt "good
housekeeping" practices is essential
(f) In order to reduce runoff contamination and runoff volume from
private and publicly owned properties that will be newly developed,
substantially rehabilitated or redeveloped in the future, a program ensuring
2
that new developments incorporate design elements which facilitate such
control is required
(g) It is in the best interest of the City to establish guidelines and
procedures for control of the quality and quantity of urban runoff from
construction sites within the City.
Section 7.10.020 Purpose.
The purpose of this Chapter is to permanently modify the structural
causes of urban runoff pollution. The objectives of this Chapter include the
reduction of both runoff volume and runoff contamination from existing
residential and nonresidential properties and from future developments. This
Chapter has two main goals. First, it aims to ensure that project sites
maximize on-site percolation of runoff. Second, this Chapter aims to ensure
that rain water is directed or contained so as not to become polluted by
passage through contaminating material.
Section 7.10.030 Definitions.
The following words and phrases shall have the following meanings
when used in this Chapter:
(a) Area Susceptible to Runoff. Any non-permeable surface
directly exposed to precipitation or in the path of runoff which leads directly
to neighboring properties or to the public right-of-way.
3
(b) Best Management Practices (lfBMpIf). Practices principally
applicable to construction sites and new developments that reduce the
toxicity contained in, and the volume of, water which runs into storm drains,
treatment facilities and the Santa Monica Bay. The Los Angeles Regional
Water Quality Board ("Regional Board") has an approved list of BMPs and
a list of technical resources and reference materials. Any BMP not
specifically approved by the Regional Board may be used if they have been
recommended in one of the listed technical resources and reference
materials. The City Urban Runoff Management Coordinator and Engineering
Department shall maintain updated copies of these lists and shall provide
them upon request.
(c) Good Housekeeping Requirements (lfGHRIf). Urban runoff
pollution control practices applicable to existing properties... which have been
demonstrated to significantly reduce and control urban runoff pollution that
runs into storm drains, treatment facilities and the Santa Monica Bay.
(d) New Development. For purposes of this Chapter, new
development shall constitute any of the following:
(1) Any construction project on a vacant site or on a site where fifty
percent (50%) or more of the square footage of the structures is removed
prior to construction.
(2) Any construction project where an existing building or structure
has been damaged, or is in need of repairs, or the owner desires to make
repairs, alterations, or rehabilitation in an amount exceeding fifty percent
4
(50%) of the replacement cost of the building or structure. For purposes of
this subsection, the City's Building Officer shall determine the replacement
cost of the building or structure and may use the most current building
valuation table published by the International Conference of Building
Officials. The Building Officer shall also determine the fair market value of
any necessary repairs and may calculate the fair market value of repairs
based on three responsible bids from properly licensed contractors,
(3) Any construction projectthat (a) results in improvements to fifty
percent or greater of the square footage of a building, (b) creates or adds at
least 5,000 square feet of impervious surfaces, or (c) creates or adds fifty
percent or more of impervious surfaces.
(4) Any construction project undertaken by the City where the
runoff controls required by this Chapter are feasible and economical, as
determined by the Director of the Department of Environmental and Public
Works Management, but which would not otherwise constitute new
development as defined by subdivisions (1) (2) or (3) of this subsection (e).
(e) Source Control BMP. Non-structural activities, practices, and
procedures that are designed to prevent urban runoff pollution.
(f) Storm Event. 0.75 inches of rainfall within a consecutive 24-
hour period that is separated from the previous storm event by at least 72
hours of dry weather.
(g) Structural BMP. Any structural facility designed and
constructed to mitigate the adverse impacts of storm water and urban runoff

(2) Washing down paved areas shall be prohibited unless
necessary for health or safety purposes and not in violation of any other
provision of this Code. If washing down paved areas is authorized pursuant
to this subdivision (2), BMP measures shall be implemented to remove
solids, such as litter and debris, sediments and hydrocarbons and other
organic chemicals.
(3) The uncovered outdoor storage of unsealed containers of
building materials and lawn and automotive care products containing
substances that may contribute pollutants to the storm water conveyance
system is prohibited .
Commercial tenants, multi-family building managers and
industrial owners shall inspect trash receptacles and refuse storage areas on
a weekly basis for loose garbage and liquid waste residue and shall not allow
such garbage and residue to enter the storm drain system. Trash
receptacles shall have solid covers and shall be closed to prevent the entry
of rain and the exit of wind-blown litter. Trash receptacles shall be
maintained without broken covers and leaks.
Swimming pools, hot tubs and spas shall be drained to
permeable surfaces and/or to the sewer and the water shall not be allowed
to flow off the site.
(b) Maintenance of Equipment.
(1) Objects such as vehicle motor parts containing grease, oil or
other hazardous substances, and unsealed receptacles containing
hazardous materials, shall not be stored in areas susceptible to. runoff.
(2) Any machine which is to be repaired or maintained in an
uncovered outdoor area shall be placed on a pad of absorbent material to
contain leaks, spills or small discharges,
(3) Machinery and equipment, including motor vehicles, which are
leaking significant amounts of oil or fluid must be repaired.
(c) Removal of Debris and Residue.
(1) All motor vehicle parking lots susceptible to runoff shall be
swept, at minimum, on a monthly basis to remove debris. Lots with more
than ten parking spaces and all public parking facilities shall be vacuum
swept, at minimum, on a quarterly basis, However, lots are not required to
be vacuum swept for one month following a day when precipitation of one-
half inch or more occurs.
(2) Fuel and chemical residue or other types of potentially harmful
material, such as animal waste, garbage or batteries, which is located in an
area susceptible to runoff, shall be removed immediately and disposed of
properly. Household hazardous waste may be disposed of at the City's
household hazardous waste collection facility or at any other appropriate
disposal site and shall not be placed in a trash container.
(3) Intentional disposal of any trash, litter, debris or hazardous
material of any type into a storm drain is prohibited. Section 5.20.040 of the
8
Santa Monica Municipal Code prohibits discharge of other types of pollutants
into the storm drain.
(d) Prohibition on Use of Pesticides and Fungicides Banned
from Manufacture.
Use of any pesticide, herbicide or fungicide, the manufacture of
which has been either voluntarily discontinued or prohibited by the
Environmental Protection Agency, is prohibited. A list of these prohibited
substances shall be maintained and made available to the public by the
Environmental Programs Division (EPD).
Section 7.10.050 Urban runoff reduction requirements for new
development.
The following urban runoff reduction requirements shall apply to all
persons submitting applications for new development within the City of Santa
Monica.
At the time of submittal of an application for a new
development project, an applicant shall be required to submit an Urban
Runoff Mitigation Plan to the Department of Environmental and Public Works
Management.
In developing an Urban Runoff Mitigation Plan, an applicant
shall infiltrate or treat projected runoff for the new development by an amount
equal to or greater than the volume of runoff produced from a storm event
through incorporation of design elements that address one or more of the
9
goals set forth below in subdivisions (1), (2), and (3) of this subsection. The
design elements utilized by an applicant may, but are not required to, include
those provided on the list below so long as the required projected runoff
infiltration or treatment is achieved:
(1) Maximize permeable areas to allow more percolation of runoff
into the ground through such means as:
(i) biofilters
(ii) green strips
(iii) swales
The use of permeable materials in lieu of or to replace hardscapes will
increase the amount of runoff seepage into the ground
(2) Maximize the amount of runoff directed to permeable areas
and/or maximize stormwater storage for reuse or infiltration by such means
as:
(i) Orienting roof runoff towards permeable surfaces, drywells,
French drains, or other structural BMPs rather than directly to driveways or
non-permeable surfaces so that runoff will penetrate into the ground instead
of flowing off-site.
(ii) Grading the site to divert flow to permeable areas.
(iii) Using cisterns, retention structures or green rooftops to store
precipitation or runoff for reuse,
(iv) Removing or designing curbs, berms or the like so as to avoid
isolation of permeable or landscaped areasm10

for use as a repository for solid wastes must meet the following Structural or
Treatment Control BMP requirements:
(i) Drainage from adjoining roofs and pavement must be diverted
away from the trash storage areas.
(ii) The area must be covered with roof or awning (to prevent rain from
entering the area and sewer or storm drain conveyance system), screened
or walled to prevent off-site transport of trash, and connected to the sanitary
sewer.
(iii) Trash bins must have solid covers and be covered at all times
except while being emptied.
(d) Any construction project adding down spouts, gutters and sub-
surface pipes directing stormwaterto the curb face shall have a French drain
12
system of perforated pipe and gravel unless site-specific circumstances
endanger public safety so as to prohibit its use as determined by the Director
of the Department of Environmental and Public Works Management. The
requirements of this subsection (d) shall apply even if the project does not
constitute new development as defined by this Chapter.
(e) The City's evaluation of each Urban Runoff Mitigation Plan will
ascertain if the proposed plan meets the standards set forth in subsection (b)
of this Section. Each plan will be evaluated on its own merits according to
the particular characteristics of the project and the site to be developed.
(f) The Director of the Department of Environmental and Public
Works Management or his or her designee shall approve or disapprove the
plan. If the plan is disapproved, the reasons for disapproval shall be given
in writing to the developer. Any plan disapproved by the Director of
