Version:

Under existing law, the State Water Resources Control Board and the 9 California regional water quality control boards prescribe waste discharge requirements for the discharge of stormwater by municipalities and industries in accordance with the federal national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES) permit program, established by the federal Clean Water Act and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Under existing law, the state board and the 9 regional water quality control boards issue permits for the discharge of stormwater from municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s).

For purposes of issuing permits for the discharge of stormwater from MS4s, this bill define commercial, industrial, or institutional site or CII site as a privately owned parcel or contiguous parcels of land that are commercial, industrial, or institutional based on the appropriate county tax assessor land use codes, as specified.

Existing law requires the State Water Resources Control Board to act upon all applications for a permit to appropriate water. Existing law establishes various requirements for a notice regarding an application received by the board, including, among other requirements, that notice be given by mail not less than 20 days before the date of a hearing for an unprotested application.This bill would require notice to be given by mail not less than 15 days before the date of a hearing for an unprotested application.
