This WQMP shall identify specific stormwater BMPs for reducing potential <br />pollutants in stormwater runoff. BMPs shall be selected to target pollutants <br />listed in Table 3.5-5 of the EIR; selection criteria and documentation shall be <br />incorporated into the WQMP. The WQMP must be approved by a qualified <br />engineer of the City's Engineering Division prior to the beginning of <br />construction activities. <br />The WQMP shall include the following BMPs along with selected BMPs to <br />target pollutant removal: <br />(i.) Waste and materials storage and management BMPs (design <br />and construction of outdoor materials storage areas and trash <br />and waste storage areas, if any, to reduce pollutant <br />introduction). <br />(ii.) Spill prevention and control BMPs. <br />(iii.) Slope protection BMPs. <br />(iv.) Water efficient irrigation practices. <br />(v.) Permanent erosion and sediment controls (e.g., hydroseeding, <br />mulching, surface covers). <br />Project developers are encouraged to consider the following BMPs: <br />(i.) Incorporation of rain gardens or cisterns to reuse runoff for <br />landscape irrigation. <br />(ii.) Site design and landscape planning. <br />(iii.) Sand filters for parking lots and rooftop runoff. <br />(iv.) Frequent street and parking lot sweeping. <br />(v.) Media filter devices for rooftop drain spouts (including <br />proprietary devices). <br />(vi.) Biofiltration devices (bioretention features, swales, filter strips, <br />and others). <br />(vii.) Proprietary control measures (if supporting documentation is <br />provided). <br />(viii.) Drain inlet filters. <br />Unless sufficient objective studies and review are available and <br />supplied with the WQMP to correctly size devices and to document <br />expected pollutant removal rates, the WQMP shall not include: <br />(i.) Hydrodynamic separator type devices as a BMP for removing <br />any pollutant except trash and gross particulates, and <br />(ii.) Oil and grit separators. <br />The WQMP shall not include infiltration BMPs unless they comply <br />with design guidelines and requirements specified in TC -1: Infiltration <br />Basins in the CASQA Stormwater Quality BMPs Handbook for New <br />Development and Significant Redevelopment (2003) or are <br />specifically approved by the City Engineer and shall meet Municipal <br />W. <br />
