Local Storm and Surface Management Plans, Programs,  Regulations and Policy Documents

Introduction

Federal and state regulations either require or recommend, depending on circumstances, that stormwater management programs be enacted.  Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program for both Phase I and Phase II jurisdictions, EPA rules require operators of municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) to develop and implement a stormwater management program.  This page includes sample documents relating to stormwater management plans, NPDES Phase 2 permit documents, stormwater management programs (management and maintenance), stormwater management manuals and protocols.
