Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question:
How do BMPs relate to SUSMP regulations?


Answer:
One of the programs required under the Los Angeles County Municipal Stormwater Permit is the Development Planning Program, which addresses the planning and design of certain types of property development and redevelopment. One of the requirements to improve runoff water quality of the Development Planning Program is the inclusion of Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plans (SUSMPs) into the design of development and redevelopment of certain types of land uses. These SUSMPs employ stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs).
