management practices for source control, pollution prevention, site design, and low impact

controlling urban runoff must first evaluate infiltration, then harvest and water re -use, then
evapotranspiration and only bio- treatment if the other three are not feasible. Submittal and
subsequent approval of the Preliminary Non - Priority Project Water Quality Plan does not
guarantee approval of the Final Non - Priority Project Water Quality Plan. Should the final
calculations and submittals not meet the required thresholds necessary to meet the

Document, alterations to the site and the site plan may be required as prescribed by the
Director of Public Works or Director of Community Development to the NPPWQP. The
aforementioned documents are available for download at
