These Permits require that the Permittees to work together to:

• Effectively prohibit non-stormwater discharges to the stormdrain system, and
• Implement controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).

The Permits were first adopted in 1990 and subsequently renewed in 1996 (Second Term) and 2002 (Third Term) (See Table 1.1). This Report of Waste Discharge has been prepared in anticipation of the expiration of the Third Term Permits in early 2007 and comprises:

• An evaluation of NPDES permit compliance over the period of the Third Term Permits;
• A proposed Model Newport Bay Watershed Action Plan (WAP)
• A proposed Model Aliso Creek Watershed Action Plan (WAP)
• A proposed management program, the 2007 Drainage Area Management Plan (2007 DAMP) (Attachment 1) for the Fourth Term Permits.
