How the new Stormwater Permit Affects Your Business

Stormwater Runoff - Haste Makes Waste
BIA is committed to helping develop a policy that fairly and effectively mitigates pollution associated with non-point source storm water runoff.

The problem with this hastily drafted program is that:

* It does not identify or target major sources of pollutants;
* It is not supported by scientific data evidencing pollutant sources and effective eradication techniques;
* It comes at great expense to the building industry, private land owners and to land resources;
* It threatens to exacerbate an already crisis situation in the California housing market, particularly scarce "affordable" housing.
