Post-Construction Stormwater Requirements 

New and redevelopment projects should be designed to prevent water quality impacts from occurring, not just during construction, but throughout the life of the project.

In July 2013, the Central Coast Water Board adopted Order R3-2013-0032, with new, more stringent Post-Construction Requirements (PCRs). Projects that receive their first discretionary approval for design elements after March 6, 2014 — or, if no discretionary approval is required, receive their first ministerial permit after that date — are subject to the PCRs, if they create or replace 2,500 square feet or more of impervious area. Table 1-1 summarizes the PCRs. 

** These thresholds, along with a project’s Watershed Management Zone (WMZ) designation, determine the specific requirements applicable for project determination.
