The SWMP describes the Best Management Practices (BMPs), measurable goals, and timetables for implementation of the following six minimum Control measures:
- Public Education and Public Participation
- Construction Site and Post-Construction
Stormwater Runoff Control - Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
- Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations.
Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP)
In compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board’s General Permit NO.
