imized and ensure that future incidents are
prevented to the greatest extent possible;

7.200.080 Suspension of water service,
sanitary sewer service and
municipal separate storm sewer
system access.
A. Suspension Due to Illegal Discharges in
Emergency Situations. The director may, with-
out prior notice, suspend water service, sani-
tary sewer service and/or municipal separate
storm sewer system discharge access to a per-
son when such suspension is necessary to stop
an actual or threatened discharge which pre-
sents or may present imminent and substantial
danger to the environment, or to the health or
welfare of persons, or to the municipal sepa-
rate storm sewer system or waters of the state
of Washington. If the violator fails to comply
with an emergency suspension order, the
director may take such steps as deemed neces-
sary to prevent or minimize damage to the
municipal separate storm sewer system or
waters of the state of Washington, or to mini-
mize danger to persons.
B. Suspension Due to the Detection of Ille-
gal Discharge. Any person discharging to the
municipal separate storm sewer system in vio-
lation of this chapter may have his/her water
service, sanitary sewer service and/or munici-
(Revised 2/04) 7-62
pal separate storm sewer system access termi-
nated if such termination would abate or
reduce an illegal discharge. The director will
notify a violator of the proposed termination of
its municipal separate storm sewer system
access. The violator may petition the director
for a reconsideration and hearing as provided
in this chapter.
C. Unauthorized Reinstatement. A person
commits an offense and violates this chapter if
the person reinstates municipal separate storm
sewer system access to premises terminated
pursuant to this section, without the prior
approval of the director. [Ord. 3483 § 1, 2003].
7.200.090 Industrial or construction
activity discharges.
Any person or activity subject to an NPDES
stormwater discharge permit, waiver, or waste
discharge order issued to the discharger and
administered under the authority of the federal
Environmental Protection Agency, shall com-
ply with all provisions of such permit. Proof of
compliance with said permit may be required
in a form acceptable to the city prior to allow-
ing discharges to the municipal separate storm
sewer system. [Ord. 3483 § 1, 2003].
7.200.100 Monitoring of discharges.
A. Applicability. This section applies to all
facilities that have stormwater discharges
associated with industrial activity, including
but not limited to construction activity.
B. Access to Facilities.
1. The city shall be permitted to enter
and inspect facilities subject to regulation
under this chapter as often as may be necessary
to determine compliance with this chapter. If a
discharger has security measures in force
which require proper identification and clear-
ance before entry into its premises, the dis-
charger shall make the necessary arrangements
to allow access to representatives of the direc-
tor.
2. Premises owners, occupiers and their
agents shall allow the city ready access to all
Edmonds City Code
parts of the premises for the purposes of
inspection, sampling, examination and copy-
ing of records that must be kept under the con-
ditions of an NPDES permit to discharge
stormwater, and the performance of any addi-
tional duties as defined by state and federal
law.
3. The city shall have the right to install
on any permitted premises such devices as are
necessary in the opinion of the director to con-
duct monitoring and/or sampling of the pre-
mises' stormwater discharge.
4. The city has the right to require the
discharger to install monitoring equipment as
necessary. The premises' sampling and moni-
toring equipment shall be maintained at all
times in a safe and proper operating condition
by the discharger at its own expense. All
devices used to measure stormwater flow and
quality shall be calibrated to ensure their accu-
racy.
5. Any temporary or permanent obstruc-
tion to safe and easy access to the premises to
be inspected and/or sampled shall be promptly
removed by the operator at the written or oral
request of the director and shall not be
replaced. The costs of clearing such access
shall be borne by the operator.
6. Unreasonable delays in allowing the
city access to a permitted premises are viola-
tions of a stormwater discharge permit and of
this chapter. A person who is the owner or
operator of a premises with an NPDES permit
to discharge stormwater associated with indus-
trial activity commits an offense and violates
this chapter if the person denies the city rea-
sonable access to the permitted premises for
the purpose of conducting any activity autho-
rized or required by this chapter.
7. If the director has been refused access
to any part of the premises from which storm -
water is discharged, and he/she is able to dem-
onstrate probable cause to believe that there
may be a violation of this chapter, or that there
is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a
routine inspection and sampling program
7.200.110
designed to verify compliance with this chap-
ter or any order issued hereunder, or to protect
the overall public health, safety, and welfare of
the community, then the director may seek
issuance of a search warrant from any court of
competent jurisdiction.
8. In addition, the director may sus-
pend water, sanitary sewer and/or storm drain
access or access to any party refusing to pro-
vide or delaying access. [Ord. 3483 § 1, 2003].
7.200.110 Requirement to prevent, control,
and reduce stormwater
pollutants by the use of BMPs.
The city will adopt requirements identifying
best management practices for any activity,
operation, or facility which may cause or con-
tribute to pollution or contamination of storm -
water, the storm drain system, or waters of the
United States. The owner or operator of a com-
mercial or industrial establishment shall pro-
vide, at its own expense, reasonable protection
from accidental discharge of prohibited mate-
rials or other wastes into the municipal storm
drain system or watercourses through the use
of these structural and nonstructural BMPs.
Further, any person responsible for a premises
which is, or may be, the source of an illegal
discharge, may be required to implement, at
said person's expense, additional structural
and nonstructural BMPs to prevent the further
discharge of pollutants to the municipal sepa-
rate storm sewer system. Compliance with all
terms and conditions of a valid NPDES permit
authorizing the discharge of stormwater asso-
ciated with industrial activity, to the extent
practicable, shall be deemed compliance with
the provisions of this section. These BMPs
shall be part of a stormwater pollution preven-
tion plan (SWPPP) as necessary for compli-
ance with requirements of the NPDES permit.
[Ord. 3483 § 1, 2003].
7-63 (Revised 2/04)

7.200.120 Watercourse protection.
Every person owning property through
which a watercourse passes, or such person's
lessee, shall not pollute, contaminate, intro-
duce new vegetation into, or significantly
retard the flow of water through the water-
course, and must comply with all critical areas
protection requirements established in Chapter
20.15B ECDC. In addition, the owner or lessee
shall maintain existing privately owned struc-
tures within or adjacent to a watercourse, in a
manner that such structures will not become a
hazard to the use, function, or physical integ-
rity of the watercourse. [Ord. 3483 § 1, 2003].
7.200.130 Notification of spills.
Notwithstanding other requirements of law,
as soon as any person responsible for a pre-
mises or operation, or responsible for emer-
gency response for a premises or operation has
information of any known or suspected release
of materials which are resulting or may result
in illegal discharges or pollutants discharging
into stormwater, the storm drain system, or
watercourses, said person shall take all neces-
sary steps to ensure the discovery, contain-
ment, and cleanup of such release. In the event
of such a release of hazardous materials said
person shall immediately notify emergency
response agencies of the occurrence via emer-
gency dispatch services. In the event of a
release of nonhazardous materials, said person
shall notify the director in person or by phone
or facsimile no later than the next business
day. Notifications in person or by phone shall
be confirmed by written notice addressed and
mailed to the city of Edmonds within three
business days of the phone notice. If the dis-
charge of prohibited materials emanates from
a commercial or industrial establishment, the
owner or operator of such establishment shall
also retain an on-site written record of the dis-
charge and the actions taken to prevent its
recurrence. Such records shall be retained for
at least three years. [Ord. 3483 § 1, 2003].
