The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold five listening sessions to provide information to the public about a potential rule to strengthen storm water regulations and to establish a comprehensive program to reduce storm water from new development and redevelopment.
The EPA seeks input on the following preliminary regulatory considerations: expand the area subject to federal storm water regulations; establish specific requirements to control storm water discharges from new development and redevelopment; develop a single set of consistent storm water requirements for all municipal separate storm sewer systems; require those sewer systems to address storm water discharges in areas of existing development through retrofitting the sewer system or drainage area with improved storm water control measures; and explore specific storm water provisions to protect sensitive areas.
The session taking place in the Mid-Atlantic region will be held on January 28, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at EPA HQ Office, Ariel Rios Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. You can register by going to www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/rulemaking where you'll also find information on listening sessions, the potential rule and instructions for submitting written comments. The EPA will accept written comments on the preliminary rulemaking considerations until February 26, 2010.
