Marin’s 11 cities and towns, the County of Marin and the Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District began addressing stormwater pollution in the early 90’s. In 1993 they created the Marin Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (MCSTOPPP). MCSTOPPP’s goals are to:
- Prevent stormwater pollution
- Protect and enhance water quality in creeks and wetlands
- Preserve beneficial uses of local waterways
- Comply with State and Federal regulations
Each MCSTOPPP member agency implements a local stormwater pollution prevention program and funds the countywide MCSTOPPP, which provides for the coordination and consistency of approaches between the local stormwater programs.
As part of MGSA’s responsibilities, the Board reviewed the Marin Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program’s (MCSTOPPP) FY 2020/21 budget at its January 9 Board Meeting. By Resolution 2020-01, the MGSA Board made a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors to approve the budget. MCSTOPPP’s budget is not included in this report since those funds are part of the County’s budget and are not under direct control of MGSA.
Provide budgetary and high-level programmatic oversight and coordination with local jurisdictions Work with County and MCSTOPP staff on annual budget which is reviewed and recommended annually by the MGSA Board to the Marin County Flood Control District
