n 2007, Assembly Bill (AB) 258 was passed, and became effective January 1, 2008, which added Chapter 5.2 to Division 7 of the California Water Code, section 13367. Chapter 5.2 entitled “Preproduction Plastic Debris Program”. This law applies to facilities in California that manufacture, handle, or transport preproduction plastics.

The State Water Board has issued an investigative order to all plastic-related facilities enrolled under the IGP to conduct a Self-Compliance Evaluation and to provide the State Water Board with information needed to satisfy the legislative mandates in AB 258. Facilities subject to this order must complete an online evaluation and assess their points of potential preproduction plastics discharge and means of controlling these discharges.
