CLEANWATER

With over 15,000 students and more than 4,000 staff and faculty, the UCSC campus has a population similar to that of a small town. And like all municipalities, the campus has an extensive network of storm drains to direct storm water runoff. Storm drain systems such as those on the UCSC campus are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency's Storm Water Regulations, as outlined in the Clean Water Act (CWA). As required by the CWA, the storm drain system at UCSC operates under a permit for Non-Traditional Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS 4), issued by the State Water Resources Control Board.
