Partners for Clean Water

Compliance Corner

Protecting our environment helps protect our health and helps strengthen our economy. Environmental protection laws and regulations such as the Clean Water Act are adopted to recognize the value of resource protection. The Clean Water Act requires local entities that own and operate public storm sewer systems to obtain a permit to discharge water to local waterways.

The Environmental Protection Agency issued the first permit in November 2000 for local stormwater discharges to the Boise River and canals. The permit and annual reports show how the Partners for Clean Water work together to educate the community and to keep pollutants out of our stormwater and the environment.

In December 2004, the Partners submitted an application for a second permit. When the second permit is approved, it will remain in effect for five years.
