Storm Water Management Program

PDEQ is responsible for implementing the County's Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) storm water discharge permit. This permit has a number of requirements including storm water sampling, implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for controlling storm water pollution, inspection of other permitted facilities in the County to ensure that they are implementing their BMPs, performing outreach to permitted facilities and the general public, and submitting reports annually that discuss implementation of these requirements.
