Ordinance No. 2181 Page 21 of 25 c. The NPDES Permit requires a proactive Diazinon pollutant reduction plan (aka Pesticide Plan) to reduce or substitute pesticide use with less toxic alternatives. d. The NPDES Permit requires complying with the Copper Pollutant Reduction Plan and the Mercury Pollutant Reduction Plan. 2. The following requirements shall be incorporated into the project: a. The project developer shall submit a final grading and drainage plan prepared by a licensed civil engineer depicting all final grades and on-site drainage control measures including bio-swales. Irrigated bio-swales shall be redesigned as needed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer to optimize the amount of the stormwater running off the paved surface that enters the bio- swale at its most upstream end. This plan shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer prior to the issuance of any building permits. b. The project developer shall submit sizing design criteria to treat stormwater runoff and for hydromodification, if required, at the time of PUD plan submittal and an updated detailed copy of calculations with subsequent submittals. c. Landscaping shall be designed to minimize irrigation and runoff, promote surface infiltration where appropriate and acceptable to the project soils engineer, and minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides that can contribute to stormwater pollution. I. Structures shall be designed to prohibit the occurrence and entry of pests into buildings, thus minimizing the need for pesticides. II. Where feasible, landscaping shall be designed and operated to treat stormwater runoff. In areas that provide detention of water, plants that are tolerant of saturated soil conditions and prolonged exposure to water shall be specified. Soil shall be amended as required. (See planting guide line by Alameda County Clean Water Program.) III. Plant materials selected shall be appropriate to site specific characteristics such as soil type, topography, climate, amount and timing of sunlight, prevailing winds, rainfall, air movement, patterns of land use, ecological consistency and plant interactions to ensure successful establishment. IV. Landscaping shall also comply with City of Pleasanton ordinances and policies regarding water conservation. d. Trash areas, dumpsters and recycling containers shall be enclosed and roofed to prevent water run-on to the area and runoff from the area and to contain litter and trash, so that it is not dispersed by the wind or runoff during waste removal. These areas shall not drain to the storm drain system, but to the sanitary sewer system and an area drain shall be installed in the enclosure area, providing a structural control such as an oil/water separator or sand filter. No other area shall drain into the trash enclosure; a ridge or a berm shall be constructed to prevent such drainage if found necessary by the
