WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN (WQMP) INFORMATION
The San Diego Region Regional Water Quality Control Board has adopted Board Order R9-2010-0016 in compliance
with the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
(MS4) Clean Water Act requirement. This Board Order regulates the discharge of pollutants from the County’s
MS4, and requires the County to implement measures to mitigate the water quality impacts of new developments
within its jurisdiction. In compliance with this Board Order, projects submitted within the City of Murrieta for
discretionary approval are required to comply with the Water Quality Management Plan for Urban Runoff
(WQMP). The WQMP addresses post-development water quality impacts from new development and
redevelopment projects. The WQMP provides detailed guidelines and templates to assist the developer in
completing the necessary studies. These documents are available on-line at:
http://www.murrietaca.gov/256/Water-Quality
To comply with the WQMP, a developer may be required to submit a “Project Specific” Final WQMP. This report is
intended to, a) identify potential post-project pollutants and hydrologic impacts associated with the development;
b) identify proposed Low Impact Development (LID) mitigation measures and Best Management Practices (
BMP’s) for identified impacts including site design, source control and treatment control post-development BMPs;
and c) identify sustainable funding and maintenance mechanisms for the aforementioned BMPs. A template for
this report is included as an appendix to the WQMP. Projects requiring Project Specific Final WQMPs will also need
to include a PRELIMINARY Project Specific WQMP along with the application package. The format of the
PRELIMINARY report is the same template of the Final report but would be at a much lesser level of detail. For
example, points a, b & c above would be covered, rough calculations supporting sizing would be included, and
footprint/locations for the BMPs would be identified on the tentative exhibit. Detailed drawings will not be
required.
Note that retention is the 1
st
order of treatment and infiltration is Regional Boards preference of treatment.
Projects must demonstrate how infiltration can or cannot be used. Typically, this involves conducting soils testing
which includes infiltration and/or percolation testing. Testing must be in conformance to the standards set in the
Riverside County Flood Control Design Handbook for Low Impact Development Best Management Practices. If
infiltration is not feasible, a project must then evaluate harvest and re-use.
