Non-Priority Projects
A Non-Priority Project Water Quality Plan is required to be completed for private new development and significant
redevelopment projects and equivalent public agency capital projects that qualify as Non-Priority Projects. These are
projects that do not fall under one of the Priority Project categories defined on the previous page but meet one of the
following conditions:
•
•
•
Require discretionary action that will include a precise plan of development, except for those projects
exempted by the City’s Water Quality Ordinance;
Require issuance of a non-residential plumbing permit for pipelines conveying hazardous materials (e.g.
gasoline) as defined in the City’s Water Quality Ordinance;
Below ground linear drainage and utility construction projects that result in the replacement of 5,000 square
feet of impervious surface such as storm drains, sewers and water lines within a developed public street,
road or highway. These projects would not qualify as a Priority Project if they maintain original line and
grade, hydraulic capacity, original purpose of the facility, or occur in response to an emergency to protect
public health and safety. These projects would require a Non-Priority Project Plan.
Requirements for Non-Priority Projects are contained in a separate Non-Priority Project Water Quality Plan. It serves
as the basis for completing a project-specific plan that is available from the City. The Non-Priority Project Water
Quality Plan requires that a project proponent document the selection of site design, source control and any other
BMPs included in a project. Information contained in the Model WQMP and Technical Guidance Document can be
used as a reference for completing the Non-Priority Water Quality Project Plan.
