This is a Storm Water Pollution Control Ordinance document from the Town of Los Gatos, California, detailing regulatory requirements and compliance standards for stormwater management. The ordinance establishes the Town's authority to regulate activities that could impact stormwater quality and outlines the permitting, inspection, and enforcement procedures necessary to prevent pollution. The document defines prohibited discharges, illicit connections, and non-stormwater pollutant sources while requiring property owners and developers to implement best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater control. The ordinance applies to all development projects, redevelopment activities, and ongoing municipal operations, with compliance requirements varying based on project scope and site conditions. The Town maintains enforcement authority through inspections, violations, and penalties for non-compliance with stormwater pollution prevention measures.

This ordinance serves as the regulatory framework governing the Town of Los Gatos' Roadside Vegetation Management USDA Grant Project (#CIP# 8115), which requires bidders to comply with all stormwater pollution control standards during project execution. The ordinance mandates that contractors implement erosion and sediment control measures, maintain proper drainage systems, and prevent discharge of pollutants during vegetation management activities. Funding for the project is provided through a USDA Grant, and all project work must meet the stormwater quality standards established in this ordinance. Electronic bids are due by Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 2:00 pm via the Town's procurement portal, with bid opening to occur electronically at the specified time.
