O rdinance
Clark County is considering
the adoption of a new water
quality ordinance that would
prohibit the discharge o f cer
tain pollutants into our storm
water system, lakes, rivers, and
aquifers within the unincorpo
rated areas o f the county.
This ordinance is a compo
nent o f the countyw ide storm
w ater m anagem ent program ,
and is needed in order for the
county to comply with Federal
Clean W ater act requirem ents.
The p ro p o se d o rd in a n c e
would also require that "best
management practices” be fol
lowed for certain activities in
order to further minimize the
amount of pollutants discharged
into storm water.
County staff will host two in

mendations about the propoes
water quality ordinance:
