Watershed Urban Runoff Management Plan

The goal of the Carlsbad Watershed Urban Runoff Management Program (WURMP) is to reduce the discharges of pollutants from the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) and prevent urban runoff discharges from the MS4 from causing or contributing to a violation of water quality standards. The Carlsbad Watershed Urban Runoff Management Program has been prepared by the City of Carlsbad, as lead agency, in collaboration with the Cities of Oceanside, Vista, SanMarcos, Escondido, Encinitas, SolanaBeach, and the County of San Diego-all local agencies which have jurisdiction within the Carlsbad Watershed Management Area. The Program meets the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Storm Water Permit for San Diego Copermittees (OrderNo.R9-2007-0001,NPDESNo.CAS0108758). The Municipal Storm Water Permit requires the development and implementation of Watershed Urban Runoff Management Programs for each of nine water shed areas within San Diego County, including the Carlsbad Watershed Management Area. This document represents the plan the jurisdictions have prepared to implement said Program.
