ARTICLE XVII <br />RESERVED <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 <br />systems, in violation of applicable Laws, which systems are comprised of, but are not limited to <br />curbs and gutters that are part of the street systems ("Stormwater Drainage System"), and to <br />ensure that pollutants do not directly impact "Receiving Waters" (as used herein, Receiving <br />Waters include, but are not limited to, rivers, creeks, streams, estuaries, lakes, harbors, bays and <br />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") <br />to the County of Orange, and to the Orange County Flood Control District ("District") and cities <br />within Orange County, as co-permittees (hereinafter collectively referred to as "NPDES Parties") <br />which regulate the discharge of urban runoff from areas within the County of Orange, including <br />the Premises leased under this Lease. The NPDES Parties have enacted water quality ordinances <br />that 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 />("BMPs") 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 <br />conditions to manage the quantity and improve the quality of stormwater runoff in a cost effective <br />manner. These BMPs are found within the District and/or County's LIP in the form of Model <br />Maintenance Procedures and BMP Fact Sheets (the Model Maintenance Procedures and BMP Fact <br />Sheets contained in the DAMP/LIP shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as "BMP Fact <br />Sheets") and contain pollution prevention and source control techniques to eliminate non- <br />stormwater discharges 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 <br />BMP Fact Sheets as they exist now or are modified, and shall comply with all other requirements <br />of the Stormwater Permits, as they exist at the time this Lease commences or as the Stormwater <br />Permits may be modified. Tenant agrees to maintain current copies of the BMP Fact Sheets on <br />Page135 <br />
