The Orange County Stormwater Program
Invites the Public to a
Community Workshop
Regarding Proposed Changes to the
Water Quality Program
The Orange County Stormwater Program will be hosting a workshop on the renewal submittals for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) municipal stormwater permits. The NPDES permits are a result of a 1987 amendment to the Federal Clean Water Act. Under these permits, local government in Orange County must control urban sources of water pollutants. These sources include, but are not limited to:
-
Fertilizers and pesticides from landscape areas
-
Oils, grease, heavy metals and litter from driveways, roads and parking lots
-
Soil erosion from landscape and construction activities
To further community understanding of the permit renewal process, explain the proposed changes to the program, and to elicit community comments, the Orange County Stormwater Program will host a public workshop:
If you are unable to attend the meeting, copies of the proposed renewal submittals will be available at
the RDMD/Watershed & Coastal Resources Division
1750 S. Douglass Rd., Anaheim or online at www.ocwatersheds.com
Monday, December 4 1:00 p.m. Peter & Mary Muth Interpretive Center 2301 University Drive Newport Beach, CA 92660
Members of the public are also welcome to submit comments directly to Richard Boon at richard.boon@rdmd.ocgov.com should they be unable to attend the workshops.
