Storm Water UnitThe Storm Water Unit addresses issues
related to storm water and non-storm water discharges to waters of the nation including storm drains, rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands and the ocean. The Clean Water Act requires the State/Regional Boards to
regulate the discharge of storm water from a number of sources. For Phase I of the program, these sources included large (population greater than 250,000) and medium (population from 100,000 to 250,000) sized
municipalities, most industrial sites, and construction activities on one acre or more. This web site will be updated with additional information regarding Phase II programs as information become available. Some of the storm water programs have been addressed on a statewide basis and some on a regional basis. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) issued two General Permits (General
Industrial Activities Storm Water Permit and the General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit) to address most of the industrial facilities and the construction sites within California. Copies of these
General Permits, application forms (NOI) and the annual report forms are available at the SWRCB's Storm Water web site. A number of regional boards, including the Santa Ana Regional Board,
adopted individual storm water permits for some of the facilities within their region. The regional boards administer the State's General Permits and the regional board's individual permits.A
list of the facilities covered under the two State General Permits may be obtained at the SWRCB's Storm Water web site. For a list of the facilities covered by individual permits issued by the Santa
Ana Regional Board or to review the files for the facilities covered either by the General Permits or by individual permits, contact the file review desk at 951-782-4499 or FileReview8@waterboards.ca.gov. The Santa Ana Region also issued three municipal storm water permits to the three counties ( Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino) and all the incorporated cities within the jurisdiction of this Board.
