GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S DESIGNATION AS THE
"208" AREAWIDE WASTE TREATMENT MANAGEMENT
PLANNING AGENCY FOR THE SOUTH COAST AREA.
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act of 1972 Section 208 is to encourage areawide
planning and management of a comprehensive program for con-
trolling such water pollution contributors as industrial
wastewater, storm and sewer runoff, and nonpoint pollutants
which occur in concentrated urban -industrial areas; and
WHEREAS, the State Water Resources Control Board's
action to non -designate most of the area resulted in a loss

region and a loss of local involvement in water quality
planning and decision-making; and
WHEREAS, under the June 1975 ruling of the U.S. District
Court the State must do 208 planning in non -designated areas
and can use financial resources that could be made available
to local governments to perform such planning; and
WHEREAS, in anticipation of another hearing to consider
208 designation of the South Coast Basin, the Southern Calif-
ornia Association of Governments in its General Assembly of
delegates from member cities and counties of the region in
September, 1975 passed a resolution supporting designation
of the South Coast Basin as a 208 area and designation of
the Association as the umbrella planning agency; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Association to be
guided in 208 planning by the following principles: to wit;
to maximize involvement and participation of member cities,
counties and special districts in the planning process; and
to pass through 208 money to participating local agencies; and
WHEREAS, the Association will recognize and honor any
existing 208 designation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council
of the City of Cypress supports designation of the South Coast
Basin as a 208 area and designation of the Southern California
