Implementation Measures: The City of Redwood City will implement the San Marco Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (STOPPP), or equivalent program's, performance standards. Sensitive Area Protection Policies: The City of Redwood City will encourage the preservation, and where possible the restoration of, areas that provide important water quality benefits (e.g., riparian corridors, wetlands, buffer zones, any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are rare or especially valuable.) Implementation Measures: The City of Redwood City will implement the San Mateo Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (STOPPP), or equivalent program's, performance standards. DEFINITIONS With the exception of "discharge of pollutants," the following selected definitions were taken from the STOPPP Stormwater Management Plan, Jul)' 1998-June 2003 (July 1999). "Discharge of pollutants" was defined by the work group to provide additional clarification. Appropriate Best Management Practices - Appropriate BMPs are those listed in, or provided an equivalent level of protection as those provided in, the Regional Board's Staff Recommendations. The guidance documents STOPPP's "Checklist of Permanent Stonnwater Pollution Prevention Controls" and "Chart for Identifying Required Permanent Stormwater Pollution Prevention Controls," and STOPPP's "Checklist for Construction Requirements" were developed based on the BMPs in Staff Recommendations. Discharge of Pollutants - Any non-stormwater discharge to a storm drain or watercourse, except for those discharges allowed under STOPPP's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Pollutants may include, but are not limited to, soil sediment, litter, oil, grease, pesticides, and metals. Illicit Discharge - Any non-stormwater discharge to a storm drain or watercourse, except for those discharges allowed under STOPPP's NPDES permit. Projects with significant stormwater pollution potential - A project which causes substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in the quantity and/or quality of stormwater runoff generated from the site. (Note: This is consistent with the CEQA definition of significance. Professional judgment will be required in evaluation of project impacts, until specific thresholds for significance have been adopted.) A project site which contains or is adjacent to a "sensitive area" (see definition below) and/or is of sufficient acreage to require coverage under the State Water Resources Control Board
