Water Program
 MS4 Enrollment Strategy
The
purpose of the Storm Water Program is to prevent storm
water runoff from acting as the vehicle for the discharge
of pollutants to surface water bodies.
The
Storm Water Program is a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Program implemented in two
phases. The November 16, 1990 Federal Register describes
the requirements of the Phase I Regulations and the
December 8, 1999 Federal Register describes the Phase
II regulations.The
State of California carries out the Storm Water Regulations
according to the California Water Code.
The
Storm Water Program carries out it's purpose by permitting
three categories of potential pollution sources; Construction
Activities, Industrial Activities, and Municipalities.
Phase I (1990 - March 9, 2003)
For
Region 3, Phase I includes three general permits and
one individual permit. Construction Activities, Industrial
activities and Caltrans activities are covered under
separate general permits. The City of Salinas holds
the only individual municipal storm water permit in
the Central Coast Region.
