Major Components of Pima County's Storm Water Management Program


Monitoring for Illicit Connections and Illegal Dumping: Pima County's storm drain system includes roadways, pipes and constructed channels. Pima County monitors discharges from the storm drain system during both dry and wet weather. It is illegal to dump waste into the storm drain system. If an inappropriate or illegal discharge is detected, the flow is traced back to its source so that the discharge can be eliminated.

Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity: Certain categories of industrial facilities are required to obtain storm water discharge permits. See Storm Water Permits for Industrial Activities for more information about the types of industries impacted by these regulations. Pima County is developing an industrial facility database and inspection program to assist our industrial community in achieving compliance with federal requirements.

Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Sites: The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) requires all construction sites, one acre and larger, to obtain a storm water discharge permit. See Storm Water Permits for Construction Sites for more information. Pima County implements an inspection program that is designed to assist construction site operators in achieving compliance with State regulations.

Storm Water Assistance Program: Pima County is developing a Storm Water Assistance Program as an extension of its existing Business Assistance Program. The Storm Water Assistance Program is designed to help businesses comply with storm water regulations and to educate citizens about storm water runoff and associated concerns.
