STAFF REPORT
The complex society in which we live generates an enormous
amount of toxic material for use in homes and businesses. These
materials must be carefully discarded so as not to jeopardize the
health of both citizens of the community and the workers which by
necessity must handle discarded waste. It is urgent that
restrictions on the discharge of such materials into the storm
drain system be implemented as soon as possible to protect the
public health, safety and welfare of all of us and to require
those who use these materials to safely dispose of them. The
adoption of this ordinance will require proper disposal rather
than surreptitious disposal into the public storm drain system.
It is recommended that further reading of this urgency
ordinance be waived and the ordinance be adopted.

exceed. any limitation set forth in this section."

,pcrION 2.
This is an urgency ordinance which will take
effec~~mmediatelY upon its adoption.
The reasons for the
4 urgency are the enormous increase in toxic materials used in our
5 homes and businesses will have a deleterious effect on the storm
6
drain system if allowed to be introduced into that system.
Our
7 complex society finds these materials all around us and even a
8 short delay in the implementation of this ordinance restriction
9 could result in an unacceptable level of these materials in the
10 storm drain system which could result in not only serious health
11 risks to citizens and employees but in County, State and Federal
12 penalties. This ordinance is necessary in order to proteCt the
'"
11
13 public health, safety and welfare.
