The primary difference between a Priority Project and a Non-Priority Project is that Priority Projects will be required to include Treatment Control BMPs in project design.
Priority Projects Categories
1. Residential development of 10 units or more
2. Commercial and industrial development greater than 100,000 square feet including parking areas
3. Automotive repair shop (SIC codes 5013, 5014, 5541, 7532-7534, and 7536-7539)
4. Restaurant where the land area of development is 5,000 square feet or more including parking areas (SIC code 5812)
5. Hillside development greater than 5,000 square feet
6. Impervious surface of 2,500 square feet or more located within, directly adjacent to (within 200 feet), or discharging directly to receiving water within Environmentally Sensitive Areas1.
7. Parking lot area of 5,000 square feet or more, or with 15 or more parking spaces, and potentially exposed to urban runoff
8. For San Diego Region -Streets, roads, highways, and freeways which would create a new paved surface that is 5,000 square feet or greater
New Development -means land disturbing activities; structural development, including construction or installation of a building or structure, the creation of impervious surfaces; and land subdivision.
Significant Redevelopment -means development that would add 5,000 or more square feet of impervious surface on an already developed site. Significant redevelopment includes, but is not limited to:
• Expansion of a building footprint;
• Addition of a building and/or structure;
• Addition of an impervious surface that is not part of a routine maintenance activity such as construction of a new parking lot.
• Replacement of impervious surfaces, buildings and/or structures when 5000 or more square feet of soil is exposed during replacement construction. Replacement does not

SECTION 7, NEW DEVELOPMENT/SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENT
include routine maintenance activities, trenching and resurfacing associated with utility work, resurfacing and reconfiguring the surface of parking lots (unless 5000 or more square feet of impervious surface is added to the existing parking lot area) or reconfiguration of pedestrian ramps and replacement of damaged pavement.
Where the significant redevelopment results in an increase of less than fifty percent of the impervious surface of a previously existing development, the treatment requirements apply only to the addition, and not to the entire development. In this circumstance, Permittees are encouraged to explore with project proponents ways by which treatment BMPs can be provided for the entire site (or a greater percentage of the site), consistent with the overall pollution reduction goals of the Third Term Permits and DAMP.
Where the significant redevelopment results in an increase of fifty percent or more of the impervious surface of a previously existing development, the treatment requirements apply to the entire development. |
