2 <br /> <br />Salt storage at commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities <br /> <br />According to section 18.6 of the MS4 General Permit, permit holders must require proper salt <br />storage at commercial, institutional, and non‐NPDES permitted industrial facilities. Runoff from <br />salt piles can increase the chloride concentration in the water supply, leading to toxic <br />conditions for the local ecosystem. Sodium from salt piles can compromise nearby soil <br />structures, reducing its water retention capacity and increasing the probability of erosion. <br /> <br />The creation of a new section within the City Code is proposed to include the MS4 salt storage <br />requirements. This section, titled Salt Storage at Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional <br />Facilities, is numbered 90‐182 and located underneath the Environmental Protection article of <br />the Zoning and Land Use chapter. <br /> <br />The proposed section has three major additions. First, deicing materials must be stored indoors <br />if possible and be on an impervious surface. If stored outdoors, a permanent roof or <br />impermeable cover must be placed over the pile. Second, salt storage facilities must be in close <br />proximity to its use, and be away from salt‐vulnerable natural areas. Third, practices must be <br />implemented to prevent exposure when transferring salt piles. A definitions list is included at <br />the beginning to improve clarity. These provisions are intended to decrease salt collection from <br />runoff to reduce its impact on the local ecosystem. <br /> <br /> <br />3. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to Sections 10‐1, 10‐38 and 10‐39 of <br />the City Code related to the proper removal and disposal of animal waste and the proposed <br />amendments to Section 90‐182 of the City Code related to salt storage at commercial, <br />industrial, and institutional facilities. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1. Ordinance 2023‐520 <br />2. Ordinance 2023‐521 <br />3. 2020 MS4 General Permit requirements
