Butte County implements a stormwater program consistent with the State Water Resources Control Board’s Phase II Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit (Order No. 2013-0001-DWQ) (Phase II Permit). Currently, Butte County's urbanized area adjacent to the City of Chico is covered by the Phase II Permit (View the NPDES Phase II (MS4) Area Map - Click here)
The purpose of the stormwater program is to prevent and reduce the discharge of pollutants from the County’s urbanized areas and protect the quality of our local waterways. For tips on specific actions you can take to help prevent stormwater pollution, visit the Residents and Businesses, Construction, and Post-Construction webpages linked to the right.
