The City of Santa Barbara is excited to announce the release of new Storm Water Resource Management Guides, now available online at SantaBarbaraCA.gov/SWMP. 

These updated resources include:  

  • Storm Water Solutions Visual Guide – showcasing local, beautiful and effective examples of storm water management techniques that capture and treat storm water runoff.  
  • Quick Reference Guides – Concise compliance overviews for each of the storm water compliance Tiers (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 & 4), clearly outlining why these requirements exist, options for compliance, and what is required to be shown for project approval.   

These resources are intended to enhance community understanding of the need for storm water resource management while also helping applicants navigate the storm water review process with confidence and clarity. 

In addition, the Creeks Division will be hosting a series of lunch and learn opportunities to discuss the City’s Storm Water Management Program and walk through the new resources available to assist applicants.  

Please join us in-person Tuesday, October 21, from 12pm-1pm at the Santa Barbara Public Library’s Faulkner Gallery located at 40 East Anapamu Street. Advance registration is required as lunch will be provided, please register here.  

We will also host a virtual presentation on Thursday, October 30, from 12pm-1pm. Please register here.
