Summary of the Enrollment Process
At the December 7, 2007 Meeting, the Central Coast Water Board approved Water Board staff’s Enrollment Strategy for the remaining 24 un-enrolled traditional MS4s under the Phase II General Permit for Stormwater Discharges. Staff proposed assembling the MS4s into eight groups based on the MS4s’ inherent similarities, geographic location, associated watershed, and uniqueness.
