The Regional Storm Water Permit's Annual Report is available for inspection at the Library and at the PEEC office, or you can view a PDF version posted at the Monterey Regional Storm Water & Education Alliance Web site.

Storm water pollution is one of the top five polluters of lakes, rivers, creeks, and estuaries in the United States. We can all help to clean up our water environments by following a few simple tips. To find out more about what you can do to help reverse this trend, see Storm Drain Pollution & You.

One of the most effective tools for preventing storm drain pollution is education. We have developed educational materials for the community. Specific practices for preventing storm water pollution have been published for the auto repair industry, the food and restaurant industry, the construction industry, and for homeowners and do-it-yourselfers. General materials have also been developed.

The City's "water quality ethic" has led to the development of a Storm  Water Management Program which is continually changing and expanding. This program is the result of a commitment to protecting our resources on the Central Coast, especially to our receiving water, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
