materials, radioactive materials (except those regulated under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
<br />amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.)), heat, wrecked or discarded equipment, sediment, contaminated
<br />waste discharged from hot tubs, pools or spas, dumped yard wastes, food related wastes, rock, sand,
<br />dirt, and industrial, municipal and agricultural waste discharged into water, or placed in an area or
<br />manner such that it could be swept away or carried by stormwater runoff.
<br />"Pollutant" means dredged soil, solid waste, incinerator residue, sewage, garage, sewage sludge, munitions,
<br />chemical wastes, biological materials, radioactive materials, heat, wrecked or discarded equipment, rock,
<br />sand, cellar dirt and industrial, municipal and agricultural waste discharge into water.
<br />A pollutant shall also include any increment of increase in the total volume or rate of stormwater runoff
<br />resulting from any activity or development occurring after the effective date hereof.
<br />33. “Premises” means any building, lot, parcel, real estate, or land or portion of land, whether improved
<br />or unimproved, including adjacent sidewalks and parking strips.
<br />34. “Regulated project” means a development project, as defined in MRP Provision C.3. These projects
<br />are required to implement LID source control, site design, and LID/GSI stormwater treatment onsite
<br />or at a joint stormwater treatment facility, in accordance with the criteria for LID/GSI and numeric
<br />sizing for stormwater treatment systems, and may be required to implement hydromodification
<br />management as put forth in the MRP.
<br />35. “Responsible person” means the owner, occupant, or entity responsible for any premises, or who
<br />engages in any activity, from which there is or may be a non-stormwater discharge or any Person who
<br />releases pollutants or waste to the MS4.
<br />36. “Source control” means structural or operational BMPs that are intended to prevent pollutants from
<br />coming into contact with stormwater through the physical separation of areas or careful management
<br />of activities that are sources of pollutants.
<br />37. “State” means the State of California.
<br />38. “Stormwater” means temporary surface water runoff and drainage generated by immediately
<br />preceding storms. This definition shall be interpreted consistent with the definition of “stormwater” in
<br />Section 122.26 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
<br />"Stormwater" means stormwater runoff, snow melt runoff and surface runoff and drainage.
<br />39. “Stormwater treatment system” means any engineered system designed to remove pollutants and
<br />waste from stormwater runoff by settling, filtration, biological degradation, plant uptake, media
<br />absorption/adsorption or other physical, biological, or chemical process. This includes landscape-
<br />based systems such as grassy swales and bioretention units as well as proprietary systems.
<br />40. “Trash and Litter” Trash consists of litter and particles of litter. California Government Code Section
<br />68055.1(g) defines litter as all improperly discarded waste material, including but not limited to,
<br />convenience food, beverage, and other product packages or containers constructed of steel,
<br />aluminum, glass, paper, plastic, and other natural and synthetic materials, thrown or deposited on the
<br />lands and waters of the State, but not including the properly discarded waste of the primary process of
<br />agriculture, mining, logging, sawmilling, or manufacturing.
<br />41. “Waste” includes sewage and any and all other waste substances, liquid, solid, gaseous, or
<br />radioactive, associated with human habitation, or of human or animal origin, or from any producing,
