Low impact development Encourage low-impact development (LID) designs for all SUSMP N/Aprojects. In addition, for all proposed development projects eachCo-Permittee shall, during the planning process and prior toproject approval and issuance of local permits, evaluate eachproject for the inclusion of LID BMPs, where applicable, whichmay minimize soil compaction, minimize disturbances to naturalwaterways, maximize infiltration and retention, provide detention,slow runoff, minimize impervious footprint, direct runoff fromimpervious areas into landscaping, and construct impervioussurfaces to the minimum widths necessary.

Continuous.

LID training for Co-Permittees' staff as well as the local designcommunity will be planned and conducted before the end of Year1.

Retail Gasoline Outlets Apply post-construction conditions that address water quality on N/Aproposed new and redeveloped retail gasoline outlets (RGO).(Redeveloped RGOs would include existing RGOs that proposeunderground storage tank modifications that involve pipereplacement and under dispenser containment replacement.)Example conditions are: 1) fuel dispensing areas shall be pavedwith Portland cement concrete (or, equivalent smooth impervioussurface), with a 2% to 4% slope to prevent ponding, and must beseparated from the rest of the site by a grade break that preventsrun-on 01 stonn water to the extent pradic;abie, 2) the lueidispensing area shall be covered with a roof canopy, and theroof canopy's minimum dimensions shall be equal to or greaterthan the area within the grade break or the fuel dispensing area,as defined above. The cover shall drain directly into the stormdrain system and not drain onto the fuel dispensing area. Thestorm drain located under the roof canopy shall include an oilseparator, or equivalent, to collect minor fuel and oil spills. Anongoing maintenance plan for the oil separator shall besubmitted for review and approval by the Storm Water Section ofPRMD prior to issuance of County grading and building permitsor by the City's Fire Dept. prior to issuance of any City permitsfor new/redevelopment RGOs, and 3) the applicant shall prepare

next permit phase as we gain experience with the maintenanceof BMPs and as we evaluate the final requirements of the SanFrancisco Bay Municipal Regional Urban Runoff NPDES Permit.

Safety factors will be proposed by the end of Year 3.

Tracking SUSMP projects The Co-Permittees use tracking databases to record SUSMP N/Ainformation for projects. PRMD added a SUSMP screen forprojects within PermitsPlus: this screen has fields to record:disturbed area, impervious surface, number and types of sourcecontrol BMPs, number and types of treatment control BMPs, totalBMPs installed, waiver field, and mitigation APN. TheMeasurable Goal would be for both the County and the City toreview and refine the tracking of SUSMP projects using theirrespective databases.

Educating property owners and home ownersregarding SUSMP BMPs on their property

The Co-Permittees shall review respective ordinances forconflicting requirements that would prevent or restrict theinstallation of post-construction BMPs.

Complete review by the end of Year 4.

This is already one of the three goals of the SUSMP program.However, the Co-Permittees will expand on this goal during thenext permit term to complement LID concepts. This guidance willbe included to supplement the SUSMP Guidelines.Complete guidance on conserving natural areas by end of Year5.

The intent of educating property and home owners on SUSMPBMPs is to educate them on the proper functioning of theSUSMP BMP(s) on their property and to provide guidance onhow to maintain the SUSMP BMP(s). One idea is to develop ageneric template brochure onto which developers could then addtheir customized information via electronic cutting and pasting.

An outreach strategy will be developed based on input from thedevelopment community and area realtors before the end ofYear 3 and implemented in Year 4.
