Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Our Environmental Services staff implement permit compliance tasks and track stormwater regulations on behalf of the City of Rocklin. We document information on illegal discharge detection and elimination, street and storm drain cleaning, creek maintenance, stormwater and creek protection controls for development projects, business inspections, and public outreach, education and participation.
Stormwater pollution prevention is everyone’s responsibility, make sure that you are doing your part to contribute to Rocklin’s Pollution Solution!
The City of Rocklin’s Stormwater Program’s goals are to:
- Prevent stormwater pollution

Tree Planting Guide
Trees provide cooling shade, reduce air pollution, provide wildlife habitat, and beautify our community but it is important to plant a tree that is appropriate for its location. The following Tree Guide was developed by PG&E for the City of Rocklin and provides a list of recommended trees for Rocklin.
Creek Water Testing Data
Data is collected at creeks throughout the City to monitor overall water quality and to follow trends over time. The parameters that are tested include pH, Temperature, Conductivity (or Oxidation-Reduction Potential), Turbidity, and Dissolved Oxygen.
