Legal Documents of Maryville

Technical requirements for the permit shall be based on the current policy manual subject to the approval of the director of engineering and public works, or his/her designee.

1. Specific land uses are known to produce pollutants that are detrimental to water quality and would not be corrected by standard water quality treatment methods. A special pollution abatement permit is required to ensure that structural and management BMPs are used to control water quality for these uses and that the BMPs employed are designed to reduce the special pollutant to an acceptable level. Before the approval of structural stormwater treatment devices, the engineering and public works director, or his/her designee, may require valid documentation from full-scale testing by an independent third party to verify that the pollutants of concern will be properly controlled. A special pollution abatement permit will be valid for a period of five (5) years, at which point it must be renewed. At the time of renewal, any deficiency in the management method must be corrected. Any development that occurs without a required permit shall be a violation of this chapter of the code.
2. A special pollution abatement permit shall be required for the following land uses:
   
   
   
   1. Vehicle, truck or equipment maintenance, fueling, washing or storage areas including, but not limited to, automotive dealerships, automotive repair shops, and car wash facilities;
   2. Any property containing more than four hundred (400) parking spaces, or one hundred twenty thousand (120,000) square feet of impervious parking area;
   3. Recycling and/or salvage yard facilities;
   4. Restaurants, grocery stores, and other food service facilities;
   5. Commercial facilities with outside animal housing areas including animal shelters, fish hatcheries, kennels, livestock stables, veterinary clinics, or zoos; and
   6. Other producers of pollutants identified by the director of engineering and public works, or his/her designee, by information provided to, or collected by, him or his representatives, or reasonably deduced or estimated by him or his representatives from engineering or scientific study.
