Pollution Prevention Programs

Industrial/Commercial Inspection Program

The City of San Diego Storm Water Department will be conducting random inspections of industrial and commercial facilities within city limits that have the potential to discharge pollutants into the storm drain system. Inspections are mandated by the Municipal Storm Water Permit (Order No. R9-2007-0001) and the Municipal Code (§43.03). Inspections are scheduled to continue throughout the next five (5) years.

City inspectors will examine facilities, give suggestions to help with storm water compliance, and recommend additional ways to reduce the potential for release of pollutants. Additional random inspections may be conducted at your facility in the future.
