Water quality: permits.

Summary

The bill adds a new Water Code section directing the State Water Resources Control Board to create a statewide NPDES order for large non‑residential properties. It would set up a permitting framework, public‑comment process, and model agreements for off‑site stormwater capture, giving permittees several compliance options, including green‑infrastructure incentives. The measure targets facilities that contribute significant pollutant loads to California’s waters.
