<br />Program 6.8: Review development plans to discourage impervious surfaces and generally <br />maximize infiltration of rainwater in soils, where appropriate. <br /> <br />Program 6.9: Create a vegetative buffer between streambeds and development. <br />Developers should retain existing vegetation and, where necessary, plant these buffers with <br />native plant species. <br /> <br />Policy 7: Implement stormwater runoff requirements, as required by the State Regional Water <br />Quality Control Board and the Alameda County-wide Clean Water Program, with as litde <br />impact on development and business costs as possible. <br /> <br />Program 7.1: Incorporate conditions of approval developed by the Alameda County-wide <br />Clean Water Program, as appropriate, for new development and discretionary permits. <br /> <br />Program 7.2: Develop design guidelines and standard details to enable developers to <br />incorporate clean water runoff requirements into their projects. <br /> <br />Program 7.3: Using the CalifOrnia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process, evaluate the <br />development effects on stormwater runoff. <br /> <br />Program 7.4: Encourage site planning and design techniques to minimize water-quality <br />impacts, including minimizing land disturbance, minimizing impervious surfaces, clustering <br />development, preserving open space, and maintaining riparian areas with buffer zones to <br />reduce runoff into waterways. <br /> <br />Program 7.5: Include stormwater quality requirements in plans and contract specifications <br />for City projects. <br /> <br />Program 7.6: Require use of Best Management Practices for construction activities and <br />ongoing business operations to prevent contaminants from entering the storm drain <br />system. <br /> <br />Program 7.7: Review the City's erosion and sedimentation prevention program to ensure <br />that erosion prevention controls and enforcement are being implemented. Create an <br />ordinance, if necessary, to accomplish these requirements. <br /> <br />Program 7.8: To effectively prohibit non-stormwater discharges, conduct construction site <br />field inspections to ensure proper erosion prevention and materials/waste management <br />implementation. <br /> <br />Program 7.9: Provide educational materials for distribution to developers, businesses, and <br />the general public explaining stormwater-quality issues and requirements, and Best <br />Management Practices to help improve stormwater quality. <br /> <br />Program 7.10: Ttain City staff on stormwater-quality requirements with an emphasis on <br />being proactive and effective in implementing stormwater controls. <br /> <br />Con OS Element, CC (182906, dean <br /> <br />VII-39 <br /> <br />City Council 8/29/2006 <br />
