Regional
Water Quality Control Board/State Water Quality
Control Board
City staff routinely participates in various
workgroups or committees set up by the Regional
or State Water Quality Control Board. Participation
includes:
- Year
2000 preparation committee. This committee
was set up to identify steps and education
needed to prepare for the year 2000 rollover.
- BASMAA
monitoring committee. This committee was
set up to determine the most beneficial
monitoring plan to perform in creeks,
stream and rivers that flow into the bay
during storms. The data will be used to
gain an understanding of non-point sources
of pollution and what can be done to eliminate
or reduce them.
- Pollution
Prevention Group. This group is financed
through participation from local wastewater
utilities to produce education and information
materials for the public about stormwater
and pollution prevention.
San
Mateo Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program
(SM STOPPP)
The federal Clean Water Act's 1987 amendments
require municipalities to effectively prohibit
non-stormwater discharges to municipal storm
drain systems and to implement controls to
reduce pollutants to the maximum extent practicable.
These requirements are implemented through
NPDES permits issued to the County. STOPPP
was created as a joint cooperative effort
between all cities in San Mateo County to
administer, develop and implement the County's
stormwater pollution prevention plan.
California Water
Environment Association (CWEA)
The purpose of the association is to enhance

such outstanding service to all our customers
that the answer would be, "Yes!"
