A number of documents are available on these pages that describe the regulations and programs aimed at preventing and controlling the discharge of pollutants to the municipal stormdrain system and receiving waters. Orange County lies within two different regions of the State Water Quality Control Board's jurisdiction: the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board and the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board.

2003 DAMP Appendix D, Watershed Chapters
While the 2003 DAMP is a countywide document
and the Local Implementation Plans developed
by each Permittee focus on implementation of
the DAMP programs on a city/jurisdictional basis,
the Orange County Permittees understand that
watersheds do not follow political boundaries.
Therefore, Appendix D of the 2003 DAMP, the Watershed
Chapters, represent the last piece of the puzzle
in that they detail efforts to prevent and control
pollutants not on a countywide or citywide level,
but on a watershed level. In 2003, the Permittees
developed Watershed Chapters for each watershed
in the San Diego Region and will proceed with
development of chapters covering the watersheds
within the Santa Ana Region in 2003-2004. Comments
or questions concerning the Watershed Chapters
should be directed to Richard
Boon of the County
of Orange Watershed and Coastal Resources Division.
