This is the third MS4 permit issued by the Regional Board and is referred to as the “Third-term” MS4 Permit. This SWMP addresses the items listed in Attachment D to the Third-term MS4 Permit, providing a description of the programs and activities that the County is implementing to comply with the Third-term MS4 Permit and to reduce pollutants in Urban Runoff to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP). In general, this SWMP provides additional detail regarding implementation of the programs described in the Riverside County Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP). The DAMP describes the overall Urban Runoff management strategies being implemented by the Permittees in the Santa Ana and Santa Margarita Regions of Riverside County during the 5-year terms of the Third-term MS4 Permits. The DAMP has been prepared to meet the complex Urban Runoff management needs in the Santa Ana and Santa Margarita Regions consistent with the Third-term MS4 Permits. The DAMP reflects the needs and constraints of the Permittees, while meeting the requirements of the Third-term MS4 Permits. The terms and acronyms used in this SWMP are defined in the glossary included in the DAMP. For purposes of this SWMP, the terms “Watershed Storm Water Management Plan (Watershed SWMP)” and “Standard Urban Stormwater Management Plan (SUSMP)” referenced in the Third-term MS4 Permit are referred to as the “DAMP” and “Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP),” respectively to be consistent with terminology established and in use by the Permittees. 1 COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE SWMP 2.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2.1 PROGRAM OVERVIEW The regulatory framework that provides the foundation for the Third-term MS4 Permit,
