§ 3902. Regulatory Summary of Resolution no. 95-53 Amending Point Source Measures in Section 4 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the North Coast Region to Include an Action Plan for Storm Water Discharges.

On June 22, 1995, the California Water Quality Control Board, North Coast Region, (Regional Water Board), adopted Resolution No. 95-53, Amending Point Source Measures in Section 4 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the North Coast Region (Basin Plan). The amendment provides an Action Plan which will allow exception to the existing prohibition of point source waste discharges to waterbodies within the North Coast Region. The Action Plan requires the Regional Water Board to implement Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act, and sets forth conditions for the implementation of Section 402(p). The conditions require the discharger to describe the storm water discharge in a Notice of Intent or application for NPDES permit and/or to manage the discharge and the activities which affect the discharge in conformance with the provisions of an applicable NPDES permit.

Resolution No. 95-53 does not contain any new regulatory language, but rather includes statewide and federal practices for regulating storm water discharges into the Basin Plan.
