Under existing law, the State Water Resources Control Board and the California regional water quality control boards issue municipal separate storm sewer system national pollutant discharge elimination system permits in accordance with the federal Clean Water Act. Existing law required the state board, no later than July 1, 2009, to develop a comprehensive guidance document for evaluating and measuring the effectiveness of municipal stormwater management programs and permits, as prescribed.
This bill would require the state board to establish an online resource center that addresses measures available for municipalities to comply with municipal stormwater
permit requirements and would authorize the inclusion of certain information.
