3.4.1 STANDARDS AND REGULATIONSIn order to fulfill <strong>BMP</strong> regulatory requirements and receive a <strong>BMP</strong> Certificateof Completion, all small residential parcels must either install parcel level<strong>BMP</strong>s AND/OR participate in an area-wide treatment that is part of a TMDLregistered catchment or a conforming Area Plan. Parcel level <strong>BMP</strong>s must, at aminimum, 1) control sediment sources, erosion, and other pollutants on-siteAND 2) infiltrate stormwater generated from all impervious surfaces to thecapacity of a 20-yr/1-hr storm, approximately 1 inch of water in 1 hour(1”/hr). If infiltration is not feasible due to site constraints, as defined anddetermined by TRPA, then special considerations may apply. These arediscussed in this chapter in Section 3.8 Site Constraints and Limitations.Inability to infiltrate the design storm from all impervious surfaces may resultin TRPA issuing a Source Control Certificate when all other required on-site<strong>BMP</strong>s that control sediment sources, erosion, and other pollutants are in place.A Source Control Certificate provides proof that a property owner has done asmuch as possible to comply with regulatory requirements. However, in thefuture they may be required to update their <strong>BMP</strong>s in order to receive a full<strong>BMP</strong> Certificate. If legal agreements are established with a local jurisdiction toaccept and treat stormwater runoff from the project as part of an area-widetreatment, and all sediment, erosion, and other pollutant control measures arein place on-site, a <strong>BMP</strong> Certificate of Completion may be issued by TRPA.3.4.2 POLLUTANT SOURCE CONTROLPollutant controls may include legally paving dirt parking and driveways,protecting natural areas from damage caused by vehicles, removing turf andreplacing with native and adapted plants, restoring compacted and disturbedareas, and properly storing and managing household hazardous waste.CHAPTER 3: Permanent <strong>BMP</strong> Planning and SelectionTRPA <strong>BMP</strong> HandbookPage 3-4 2012
