Watershed Protection
Priority Outcome: Create a more livable and sustainable city
This program is the lead division responsible for managing flood control protection and stormwater pollution
abatement programs for the City. This is accomplished through development and implementation of projects
to comply with public health and stormwater regulatory requirements. This program is charged with this
responsibility under the legal mandate of the Federal Clean Water Act. Each county and municipality
throughout the nation is issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Stormwater Permit, which regulates the treatment and abatement of stormwater discharges from large
municipal storm drain systems. The NPDES Permit also enforces Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL)
requirements, which limit the maximum amount of a pollutant that a water body can receive and still meet
water quality standards.
