BACKGROUND:
CLEAN WATER ACT (CWA)
Under the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972, each county and municipality throughout the nation is issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.

The City of Rialto, along with fifteen other cities, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, and the County of San Bernardino, has joined the NPDES Storm Water Permit.
