Summary
Urban stormwater management is quickly gaining the attention of the public and decision makers in the Monterey Bay Region. The Monterey Regional Management Storm Water Management Program (MRSWMP) was developed to "implement and enforce a series of management practices, referred to herein as 'Best Management Practices' (BMPs)." [2] The MRSWP's goal is to minimize surface runoff pollutants[3] from entering areas of biological significance in the Monterey Bay. Efforts are being taken to reduce stormwater runoff using a multitude of methods.
Phase I Monterey Bay Region Municipalities
Phase I regulations, effective since 1990, require NPDES permits for storm water discharges for certain specific industrial facilities and construction activities, and for “medium” and “large” municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) generally serving populations greater than 100,000. [4]
Phase II [2]
In December 1999, the EPA promulgated more regulations known as the Storm Water Phase II Final Rule for all MS4s with urbanized areas and municipalities with a population base greater than 10,000 with a population density greater than 1,000 persons per square mile, and includes construction sites of 1 to 5 acres. In California, the NPDES General Permit for small MS4s is overseen by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and requires the development of a management plan that discusses existing and proposed programs that will protect water quality by reducing or eliminating pollutant runoff from entering local water bodies. [6]
Individual cites
Basin Plan 1994 adopted by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board applies to the following cities:
- Watsonville
- Annual review of the Storm Water Management Plan's (SWMP) effectiveness, BMPs effectiveness and improvement opportunities to achieve the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) are required under Phase II permit requirements.
- Hollister
- The SWMP will be implemented over the next five years (from 2004 to 2009)[7]
- Gilroy
- An SWMP does not currently exist. [8]
