§ 98-205. Applicability.

The provisions of this article shall be applicable to all users and potential users located within the city and all users that discharge either directly or indirectly into the city stormwater conveyance system. This article shall also apply, within the city, to nonstormwater discharges made directly to the navigable waters of the Sacramento Delta. This article shall not be applicable to persons located outside the incorporated area of the city if their stormwater or nonstormwater discharge enters a stormwater conveyance facility owned or operated by another public agency which is subject to a valid NPDES permit for discharges from a municipal separate storm sewer system prior to entering the city stormwater conveyance system.

This article shall not apply to facilities subject to and in compliance with a state general construction activity stormwater permit. Nonstormwater discharges at construction sites between one and five acres in size, and which the administrator determines are in accordance with the nonstormwater discharge standards of the state general permit for construction activity, are considered to be in compliance with this article.

This article shall not apply to facilities operated by the State of California or by agencies of the federal government.
