The Federal Ckan Water Act (CWA) allows the United Stares fnvironrnentaf Protection Ayerlcy (USEPA) to delegate its NPC)ES permitting authority to states with an approved environmental rerguiatury program.

This psm~k governing mmunicipai stormwater dischar'gas meets both the statutory requirsrnents of Q~tion 402(p)(314B1 and all requirements applicaWc to an NPDES permit issued un* the issuing authority's cfiseraicmary authority in accordance with Section 40l(aj(l)fB) of the CWA.

To protect the beneficial uses of waters of the State, the pollutants from all sources need to be controlled. Recognizing this, and the fact that storm water discharges contain wliutants, ti^ Permittees m d the Regional Board have all agreed that an area-wide storm water permit is the most effective way to develop and knpiernalt a con~pretlensive storrn water management program in a timely manner.

Storm Water lr~formation --. ......--.... - 1%. Urban runoff is a waste, as defined in the California Water Code, which contains

pollutants that couid adversely affect the quaiity of the waters of the State, The discharge of urban runoff f r ~ m an MS4 is a "discharge of poifutants from a point source" into waters of the United States as defined in the GIean Water Act,

'1 3. Urban runoff includes those discharges from residential, commercial, industria!, and construction areas within the project area,

14. The State Water Resaufccs Contrd b a r d (SWRCB9 issued two statewide 9emr211 permits; to address storm water discharges from industrial and construction activities: the General ~ndustriaf Activities Storm Water Permit fNPOES No, CASQOoOQ1) and the Gsnsral Construction Activity Starm Water Parmlt 1NWES No. CASQOQa02). tnduslrial and cMIstruction activities that qudffy we required by F"aderaI regularions to obtain permit coverage either under an ind iv id~ t NPUES permix, or under these statewide general perrnita by filing a Naticg of Intent (NOI) with tha SWWS, Due to Xtte ephemeral nature af the Whitawatw River and Its tributary drainages, surface water is premnt in drainage c h a d s primarily as a result of wet and dry weather ufbn runoff snd agricultural irrigation flows. These occasional and b ~ e r m W n t fwrfsce Tbw infkxmee the erosion and sadirnm yields unique to the glrid landscape of the: Whiewatsf River watershed.

I S . There is a strong diracrt correlation bazween "urhnkation" and "impacts to rmiving watsr q~2PJity." in general, the more Stesntlty deveIwd ttte arm, xhe greater the patentid impact to remjving waters from urban nmoff.

1 6. Wng uf ban dav&opmnt two important changes occur:

s. Naturat petviaus ground aovef is converted Xu Irnpmious surfaces such a$ paved highways, streets, rwftopa, and parking lots. Natwai sail can b t h absorb mln~ater and r m v 8 pcs$utants. Beoause ~ v e m e n t and cbncrate can ~"nher absorb water nar mmove pollutants;, W ~bsarpfiv@ characteristics ctf the land are lust:

b. Urban dav14tapmsnx creates new mlutirtn yources as human pbpuiitkw densdty increases and brings with it priqwrtionately higher hueis of car smksions, car rnaintsnanw warns, munioipd sewage, pesticides, househaid hazard= wastes, pet wastes, and trash ete. which can either 13f3 wa~hed Inw or dreotly d u r n into the MW,

&cause of these 42) chajtngets, the runoff leaving xb davalapi?d urban area is signifidantty greater in vduw, vetacity and pallutant laad than &a px&evalqment runoff f r m the s m @%a.

3 8. Urban rimoff cantains pollutants, which threaten i~urnan health. individually and h cornbinatian, the discharge of pollutants from MS4a can. cause oor threaten m cause a conditian of pdlfutiwr 0.e.. unreasonable impairment of water quality for designated beneficial uses), contamination, or nuisance. The discharge of pollutants Rom M%s

can cause the concentration of pallutanl:~ ro exceed applicable receiving water quaiitlp objectives and impair or threaten tu impair designated beneficial uses.

19, Pollutants can be effectively reduced in urban runoff by the appropriate applicatian of pollution prevention, source control, and treatment control best management pra@r:ices IBMPs).

20. Utiiizing their land use authority, permittees authorize urbanization and land uses that generate! pollutants and runoff that cantribute to the impairment of receiving waters. Since the parnittees utilize their legal aho f i t y to authorize urbanization, they can altso exercise their legal authority to ensure that the resulting increwad potlutant: Imds and flows do wt further degrade receiving waters*

P I . Urban development has thrw majar phases: (I] land use flaming fvr new developmem; $2) cxm%mctbn; and (31 the land use or existing de=f~pmnt phase. bl=ause the permittees zimha-ka each of these phases, they have commensurate rssponsit3ilitbs ta protect water quality dwing ea& phase.

22. The wrmit-tass devdoped and submitted a Storm Water Management Ran 4SWMPi to the CRWQCB as part af the NPDES permit r&applicat;an. The SWMP inctudc3.s an updated suite of BMPs that will reduce potantiel potlutilnts in storm waxer discharges f r m the 8.453% to Eks maximum extent practicable (MEPf.

23. One, of the mast %%cient and cost: eS19ctive methods to reduce potential poflu-tants in s tom water antO n o n e o m water. runoff is to incorpurate BMPs as aady in the devtapment planning phase ari possible- The Impternantation of WPs is nmesmry to prevent erasfon and sedimentation in stofm water and nbn-storm water runoff disr;hsrgea.

25. Enforcemetst of Iacd storm water runoff retzrtad arclhmes, permits, and ptetnsd is an essmrial component QI evwy SWMP. Routine inspections provide an efhdve means by which p e t n h s s can evaluate compliance with their ardinancas. Inwctfms are especidly impartant at high-risk areas for poflutant discharges, such 8s industria# and construction sites.

26. Educetian is the foundatian of every affsctive SWPAP. Education of municipal planning, inspectian, and maintenanmi! dspartm@nt staff is espacialfy critical. The PuMic Educaxian Program contained in the S W P incczrp~ates a well-devetoped approach to education and outrewh. The program, entitled "Storm WatcrlCIean Water Program*, combines resources and efforts from the three Riverside County rnt~rlicipat pannit programs ta effectively ~omun ica te responsible storm watcr management.

27. Putdic participation is necessary to ensure that all stakeholder interesls, and a variety of creative solutions, are considered. Public participation is impor-tsnt in the development of a complete urban runoff rnarlagernent program. The permittees propose tu emphasize the public participation component of the Starm WaZer/Glaan Water Program,

28, Dis&arges from MS4s throughout each watershed contribute to a cumulative palierrat~a load to downstream receiving waters.

29, Withfn their common watershed it is necessary far the pernit?ees t s coordinate their water quality protection activides ta achieve the greatest protection of receiving water quafity. Perm@ee coordination with other watershed stakeholders (e-g., C a l t r m artd the Bureau of Indian Affairs) is atso desirable. Estabtishmrtt of a rnarlagernent structure within which the parrnittees subject to this Board Order will fund and coordinate tfwwe aspects of their joint oMigstions will promote effective irnplementaticpn af the SWDJiP on a water53hed and regional basis in the most cost effective manner.

30, The most camman categories of pollutants in storm water runoff include total suspendad aotids, sediment (due to aanthropcrgmic WivZtiest; pathagens k g * , hcmria, vInrses); m~t#is fe.g., copper, lead. zinc and cadmium); pewakwrn products and patynuclaztr aromatic hydcocsrbons; synthetic organics a . pcjl;;tki&s, and harbicMesf; nutrients (s,g., nitmgm anb phasphatu$ fet-tilizers), oxy~n&manding substances {decaying mgmation, animal wwtetet, and trash.
