Adding a Stormwater Period

Water runoff from heavy rainstorms can cause water pollution and earth erosion. For this reason, the agency monitors and records weather conditions in order to comply with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, also known as National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Extreme weather conditions can constitute what is called a stormwater event, which requires that the agency submit a Stormwater Environmental Compliance Inspection Report (SECIR).
