Tuolumne County implements California's stormwater program in unincorporated areas like Twain Harte. Property owners cannot discharge sediment, paint, or yard debris into storm drains or creeks.
Tuolumne County operates under the California State Water Resources Control Board's Phase II MS4 stormwater permit. In Twain Harte, runoff drains to Sullivan Creek, Curtis Creek, and ultimately the Stanislaus River. Discharging sediment from construction sites, washing paint into gutters, dumping yard waste in drainage ditches, and improperly disposing of pool water are all violations. Construction sites larger than one acre also need a State Construction General Permit and a SWPPP (stormwater pollution prevention plan). Existing homes must avoid concentrated runoff that erodes banks or carries pollutants downstream.
County code enforcement abatement, state-level fines from SWRCB up to $10,000 per day for serious construction violations, and required cleanup costs.
