1 August 2000 - 9:30am

State and federal environmental agencies announce a plan to fight polluted urban runoff.

State and federal environmental agencies announced a "15-year plan to fight runoff in California, the first of its kind in the nation." About $310 will be available for runoff countermeasure such as "diversion of urban runoff into sewers, better erosion and sediment control at construction sites, and stronger controls on agricultural pesticides." Huntington Beach will receive $4 million.
