101. Landscaping shall be designed to minimize irrigation and runoff, promote surface infiltration where appropriate, and minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides that can contribute to stormwater pollution. a. Structures shall be designed to discourage the occurrence and entry of pests into buildings, thus minimizing the need for pesticides. b. 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. c. 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. d. Landscaping shall also comply with City of Pleasanton ordinances and policies regarding water conservation. 102. 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 berm shall be installed to prevent such drainage if found necessary by the City Engineer/Chief Building Official. A sign shall be posted prohibiting the dumping of hazardous materials into the sanitary sewer. The project developer shall notify the Dublin-San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) upon installation of the sanitary connection; a copy of this notification shall be provided to the Planning Department. 103. All paved outdoor storage areas shall be designed to minimize pollutant runoff. Bulk materials stored outdoors that may contribute to the pollution of storm water runoff must be covered as deemed appropriate by the City Engineer/Chief Building Official. 104. Prior to grading permit issuance, the project developer shall submit a copy of the State Water Resources Control Board Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under the State Construction Storm Water General Permit for projects with clearing, grading, and excavation exceeding the current standards. 15
