The Water Boards draw authority for storm water regulation from the federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act) and from direction within the Clean Water Act which puts the framework for regulating storm water discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit system. Data collected for NPDES storm water permit compliance is available in the Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) and the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS). For more information read our Storm Water Management Fact Sheet.
