The article offers information about the on-site audits of the municipal stormwater programs in Los Angeles and Long Beach in California. On May 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board conducted an on-site audit of the municipal stormwater programs in the area wherein they carried out 55 individual stormwater inspection of port tenants. After which, the agency issued an audit report followed by 20 administrative orders to facilities at the ports for non-compliance with the state's industrial general permit and it mandated port tenants to correct all their deficiencies within 30 days and submit a revised stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) to EPA within 60 days.
