Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership

Sacramento area public agencies, including the County of Sacramento and the Cities of Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, and Rancho Cordova, have joined together to form the Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership (SSQP). The goals of the SSQP are to:

  • Educate and inform the public about urban runoff pollution
  • Encourage public participation in community and clean-up events
  • Work with industries and businesses to encourage pollution prevention
  • Require construction activities to reduce erosion and pollution
  • Require developing projects to include pollution controls that will continue to operate after construction is complete
