Title, shall have the meanings hereinafter designated. Where noted, the definitions shall
correspond with the applicable section of the Arizona Revised Statutes as amended.
1. ADEQ: Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, regulatory entity of the State of
Arizona responsible for administering various Federal and State environmental laws and
programs, including most water quality programs, air quality, and waste programs.
2. AZPDES permit: Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System-any permit issued by
the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality delegated pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 1342(b)
that authorizes the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States, whether the permit is
applicable on an individual, group, or general area-wide basis in compliance with the Clean
Water Act (CWA).
3. BMPs, Best management practices: schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the discharge of
pollutants to waters of the United States. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operating
procedures, and practices to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste
disposal, or drainage from raw material storage.
4. CGP: Construction General Permit
5. Common Plan of Development: a smaller project is part of a larger common plan of
development or sale if the project collectively will disturb 1 or more acres, e.g., a single private
or commercial lot that is part of a subdivision or commercial development.
6. Contractor: synonymous with the term "builder" and means any person, firm, partnership,
corporation, association or other organization, or a combination of any of them, who, for
compensation, undertakes to or offers to undertake to, purports to have the capacity to
undertake to, submits a bid or responds to a request for qualification or a request for proposals
for construction services to, does himself or by or through others, or directly or indirectly
supervises others to:
(a) Construct, alter, repair, add to, subtract from, improve, move, wreck or demolish any
building, highway, road, railroad, excavation or other structure, project, development or
improvement, or to do any part thereof, including the erection of scaffolding or any other
structure or work in connection with the construction.
(b) Connect such structure or improvements to utility service lines and metering devices and
the sewer line.
(c) Provide mechanical or structural service for any such structure or improvements. A.R.S.
§32-1101 (3).
{00006037.DOC / 3}Revised 09/07/07 2 of 14
7. CWA, Clean Water Act: the Federal water pollution control act, as amended, 33 U.S.C.
1251 et. seq.

by the Town of Marana Land Development Code
9. Discharge: any addition of any pollutant to waters of the United States from any point
source. A.R.S. §49-255 (2).
10. EPA: the United States Environmental Protection Agency charged with primary

11. Final Stabilization: means that either:
a. All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and either of the two

area has been established on all unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent
structures, or
ii. Equivalent permanent stabilization measures (such as riprap, gabions, or
geotextiles) have been employed.
b. When background native vegetation will cover less than 100 percent of the ground (e.g.,
arid areas, beaches), the 70 percent coverage criteria is adjusted as follows: if the native
vegetation covers 50 percent of the ground, 70 percent of 50 percent (.70 x.50 =.35) would
require 35 percent total cover for final stabilization. On a beach with no natural vegetation,
no stabilization is required.
c. For individual lots in residential construction final stabilization means that either:
i. The homebuilder has completed final stabilization as specified above, or
ii. The homebuilder has established temporary stabilization including perimeter
controls for an individual lot prior to occupation of the home by the homeowner and
informing the homeowner of the need for, and benefits of, final stabilization, or
iii. For construction projects on land used for agricultural purposes (e.g., pipelines
~ across crop or range land), final stabilization may be accomplished by returning the
disturbed land to its preconstruction agricultural use. Areas disturbed that were not
previously used for agricultural activities, such as buffer strips immediately adjacent
to "water of the United States," and areas which are not being returned to their
. preconstruction agricultural use must meet the final stabilization criteria above.
12. Illicit Discharge: any discharge to a storm drain system that is not composed entirely of
stormwater except discharges pursuant to a NPDES or AZPDES permit, discharges resulting
