The NPDES programwas authorized by the Clean Water Act to control water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. This program will be housed within Lakes Management as it relates to protecting the County’s natural resourcesby preventing water pollution from entering stormwater systems that eventually lead to our creeks, streams and lakes.
