A Force for Stormwater Quality

Main Page ImageStormwater pollution affects us in ways that most people don't even realize.

Trash on the beaches, growing algae plumes in lakes and bays, bacteria in our ocean, rivers and streams... Anything that can be washed into our waterways from the earth's surface when it rains - including oil and fluids from cars, fertilizer and pesticides from lawns and farms, or cigarette butts tossed to the ground - contributes to stormwater pollution.

The Good News? There are many agencies and organizations working hard to make things better, and the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) is one of them.

Through the development of stormwater management policies and regulations, CASQA is taking positive steps that will lead to cleaner streams, rivers, bays, beaches and ocean waters for everyone to enjoy throughout California. As a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, public benefit corporation, our membership is comprised mostly of government agencies, businesses, organizations and individuals responsible for or interested in stormwater management programs. Read more about what we do, how we do it, and how you could be involved here.

Please take a look around our web site where you will find out more about us and how we're working to improve stormwater quality!
