i0a:11-111 a <br />ARTICLE XVIII <br />BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES <br />18.1 Tenant and all of Tenant's, subtenant, agents, employees and contractors shall conduct <br />operations under this Lease so as to assure that pollutants do not enter municipal storm drain systems, <br />in violation of applicable Laws, which systems are comprised of, but are not limited to curbs and <br />gutters that are part of the street systems ("Stormwater Drainage System"), and to ensure that <br />pollutants do not directly impact "Receiving Waters" (as used herein, Receiving Waters include, but <br />are not limited to, rivers, creeks, streams, estuaries, lakes, harbors, bays and oceans). <br />18.2 The Santa Ana and San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Boards have issued <br />National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permits ("Stormwater Permits") to <br />the County of Orange, and to the Orange County Flood Control District ("Districf') and cities within <br />Orange County, as co-permittees (hereinafter collectively referred to as "NPDES Parties") which <br />regulate the discharge of urban runoff from areas within the County of Orange, including the <br />Premises leased under this Lease. The NPDES Parties have enacted water quality ordinances that <br />prohibit conditions and activities that may result in polluted runoff being discharged into the <br />Stormwater Drainage System. <br />18.3 To assure compliance with the Stormwater Permits and water quality ordinances, the <br />NPDES Parties have developed a Drainage Area Management Plan ("DAMP") which includes a <br />Local Implementation Plan ("LIP") for each jurisdiction that contains Best Management Practices <br />(`BMWs") that parties using properties within Orange County must adhere to. As used herein, a <br />BMP is defined as a technique, measure, or structural control that is used for a given set of conditions <br />to manage the quantity and improve the quality of stormwater runoff in a cost effective manner. <br />These BMPs are found within the District and/or County's LIP in the form of Model Maintenance <br />Procedures and BMP Fact Sheets (the Model Maintenance Procedures and BMP Fact Sheets <br />contained in the DAMP/LIP shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as "BMP Fact Sheets") and <br />contain pollution prevention and source control techniques to eliminate non-stormwater discharges <br />and minimize the impact of pollutants on stormwater runoff. <br />18.4 BMP Fact Sheets that apply to uses authorized under this Lease include the BMP Fact <br />Sheets that are attached hereto as Exhibit C. These BMP Fact Sheets may be modified during the <br />term of the Lease; and the Lessor shall provide Tenant with any such modified BMP Fact Sheets. <br />Tenant, its agents, contractors, representatives and employees and all persons authorized by Tenant <br />to conduct activities on the Premises shall, throughout the term of this Lease, comply with the BMP <br />Fact Sheets as they exist now or are modified, and shall comply with all other requirements of the <br />Stormwater Permits, as they exist at the time this Lease commences or as the Stormwater Permits <br />may be modified. Tenant agrees to maintain current copies of the BMP Fact Sheets on the Premises <br />throughout the term of this Lease. The BMPs applicable to uses authorized under this Lease must be <br />performed as described within all applicable BMP Fact Sheets. <br />18.5 Tenant may propose alternative BMPs that meet or exceed the pollution prevention <br />performance of the BMP Fact Sheets. Any such alternative BMPs shall be submitted to the Lessor <br />for review and approval prior to implementation. <br />Page 152 <br />.' m <br />
