Background

We regulate stormwater released from municipalities and industries using the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Discharge Permit. This permit regulates stormwater that goes directly into lakes, rivers, Puget Sound, or the ocean (surface water). All stormwater must meet the applicable water quality standards before it goes into surface water to protect human health and aquatic life.
