Which agency primarily oversees stormwater management and flood prevention?

The County Flood Control District primarily oversees stormwater management and flood prevention at the local level. These districts are specifically established to provide flood protection and manage stormwater runoff, which are critical for preventing flooding and managing water resources effectively. They work on infrastructure projects such as the construction and maintenance of drainage systems, levees, and other flood control measures.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does play a role in setting standards and regulations related to water quality and stormwater management at a national level, but it is not the primary agency responsible for local flood control efforts. Similarly, the Department of Transportation focuses on transportation infrastructure rather than stormwater management, while the Department of Public Health addresses health-related issues, which may encompass water quality concerns but does not hold the primary responsibility for flood prevention and management strategies.
