Storm Water Pollution Prevention Facts

Did you know that any water used outdoors collects on City streets, sidewalks, parking lots, and gutters and flows directly into the City’s storm drain system, to the Santa Maria River, and eventually to our ocean and beaches without treatment? If you are operating a mobile business, this is even more likely to occur. Some of this water is captured in basins or sports fields where it soaks, untreated, back into the groundwater. The City of Santa Maria Municipal Code requires you to use “best management practices,” or BMPs, to keep dirty water and pollutants out of the storm drain.
Only unpolluted rain should go down a storm drain!

Best Management Practices For Wastewater

  • If you can’t keep the activity indoors, find a site where your wastewater can be easily managed and keep water and wastewater from running off your site.
  • Conserve water and minimize the amount of wastewater you create by using a spray nozzle with an automatic shutoff.
  • Place sandbags or other barriers around your activity or around nearby storm drain inlets.
  • For small amounts of wastewater, allow the water to dry up before removing the barriers.
  • For larger amounts that will not dry quickly, you may send the wastewater to a private landscaped area that you own. You may not send it to public landscaping, the street, or other public or private property.
  • You may soak up excess water with towels or absorbent materials, and then properly dispose of them.
  • You may not leave visible traces of oil, grease, sediment, debris, trash, or detergents on the ground.

If activities at your place of business generate large amounts of wastewater runoff, please contact the City Utilities Department, Regulatory Compliance Division, for further guidance at (805) 925-0951 ext. 7270, or visit us online at www.santamariacleanwater.org.

Statement of Understanding

It can result in criminal prosecution, administrative proceedings, civil injunction, and civil penalties up to $6,000 per day. Additional civil penalties may be imposed in the amount of $250 per day during the civil injunction process.

Disability Access

On October 11, 2017 Governor Brown signed into law AB-1379 which adds a state fee of $4 on any applicant for a local business license or similar instrument or permit, or renewal thereof starting on January 1, 2018 (CASP State Fee). The purpose is to increase certified access specialist (CASP) training and certification within the local jurisdictions and to facilitate compliance with construction-related accessibility requirements.

Under federal and state law, compliance with disability access laws is a serious and significant responsibility that applies to all California building owners and tenants with buildings open to the public. You may obtain information about your legal obligations and how to comply with disability access laws at the following agencies:
The Division of the State Architect at www.dgs.ca.gov/dsa
