What Are Stormwater Pollution Compliance Inspections?

The county of Sacramento, along with the cities of Sacramento, Folsom, Galt, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova and Elk Grove, has been issued a state municipal stormwater permit. This permit requires stormwater pollution compliance inspections to be conducted at all retail gasoline stations, automotive body shops, automotive repair facilities, equipment rental yards, nurseries, kennels, automotive dealers, restaurants, and General Industrial Stormwater Permit industries. The inspections, which will be conducted by the County's Environmental Management Department, are intended to identify and eliminate outdoor, exposed pollutants generated by businesses that are affecting, or could affect, county and municipal storm drainage and local waters.

Keeping pollutants out of the storm drainage system is important because pollutants, generated by businesses and other sources, flow directly into the nearest creek or river and receive no treatment for pollutant removal.
