(b) Spraying, filling, and dumping of any material or waste, including the land application of biosolids or animal waste, unless such activity is a result of an emergency.

(2) Modify the function of the facility as designed and constructed for the management of stormwater to prevent pollution, downstream channel erosion, and/or flooding, unless said modification is authorized in writing by the Director. (Ord. 20262 § 13, 10-6-20.)
