Stormwater

The City of Paso Robles is enrolled in the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Program as required by the State Water Resources Control Board. The program requires the City to develop and implement a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) in order to reduce or eliminate pollutants in Stormwater runoff and non-storm water discharges.

Best Management Practices

The SWMP describes the Best Management Practices (BMPs), measurable goals, and timetables for implementation of the following six minimum control measures:

• Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
• Post-Construction Stormwater Runoff Management
• Public Education and Public Participation
