New development and construction projects are required to minimize impacts on receiving water quality by incorporating Best Management Practices (BMPs) specific to both the construction and post-construction phases of the project.

New development and redevelopment projects are required to minimize impacts on receiving water quality by incorporating pollution prevention measures in their project design. Project proponents must implement Low Impact Development (LID), source control, and treatment control BMPs. The City of Chula Vista Development Storm Water Manual provides guidance for these requirements and also includes the City's Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP).

Construction projects of one acre or more are regulated under the State Construction General Permit. Developers are required to submit a Notice of Intent and prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. Construction sites less than one acre are regulated by the construction component of the Municipal Storm Water Permit and are required to implement BMPs. City of Chula Vista Storm Water Management staff regularly inspect construction sites and provide storm water BMP education and enforcement, if necessary.
