NPDES Stormwater Program
Key Elements of Program
Our stormwater program has six key elements to it:
- Construction Site Runoff Controls
- Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
- Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
- Post-Construction Runoff Controls
- Public Education and Outreach
- Public Involvement and Participation
What We Strive to Accomplish
Together we hope to improve the quality of stormwater runoff reaching our creeks and tributaries. Stopping pollution at its source is the most effective way to prevent harmful pollutants from being washed by stormwater runoff into our storm drains, and ultimately, our creeks and tributaries.
