Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Priority:
Clean Water Act - Wet Weather
Planning Topics
Ensuring compliance with Clean Water Act requirements by addressing four environmental challenges that are exacerbated by wet weather. Wet weather discharges contain bacteria, pathogens and other pollutants that can cause illnesses in humans and lead to water quality impairment, including beach and shellfish bed closures and harm our nation's water resources.
These four environmental challenges are:
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations
Combined Sewer Overflows
Sanitary Sewer Overflows
Storm Water
