Yuba City is a Phase II Small MS4 permittee under the State Water Board's General Permit (WQO 2013-0001-DWQ, as amended). The City regulates illicit non-stormwater discharges and construction-site runoff under that permit and through its Municipal Code public works/sewer provisions.
California's Phase II Small MS4 General Permit (Water Quality Order 2013-0001-DWQ, NPDES No. CAS000004) requires Yuba City to implement six Minimum Control Measures, including illicit discharge detection and elimination (IDDE), construction-site runoff control, and post-construction stormwater management. The City's Public Works/Engineering Division administers BMPs through the joint Yuba County Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) coordinated with the City of Marysville and Yuba County. Only stormwater and a short list of conditionally exempt non-stormwater flows (e.g., landscape irrigation, dechlorinated pool water meeting BMP criteria) may legally enter the storm drain.
Illicit discharges to the MS4 are enforceable under the State Water Board's General Permit and by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, with administrative civil liability up to $10,000 per day per Water Code §13385. Local Municipal Code violations are infractions/misdemeanors under Yuba City MC §1-5.01 (general penalty).
