Description: What's the Latest? Views on MS4 Permits from across the country
What's the Latest? Views on MS4 Permits from across the country
With more than 7,000 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permits issued across the United States, permitted stormwater dischargers are largely held to similar requirements regardless of region. However, unique requirements and innovative approaches differ regionally for individual and group permits. Through conversation with WEF’s National Municipal Stormwater and Green Infrastructure Awards Program recipients and other communities working toward proactive permit compliance, insight is gained on unique regional challenges, innovative approaches, and areas of success that may inform other Phase I and Phase II communities in program development.

Abstract
This moderated panel discussion (session) will provide insights on MS4 General Permit requirements from around the country. There are over 7000 regulated MS4 dischargers across the United States, and while the general permits tend to largely contain similar provisions, there are unique requirements and innovative approaches to compliance developing in different regions for individual and group permits. This panel has been developed and includes several representatives from WEF's National Municipal Stormwater and Green Infrastructure Awards Program winners and other communities working towards proactive permit compliance and program development. Panelists represent both Phase 1 and Phase 2 communities and come from delegated and non-delegated states. The panelists will provide updates on recent permit requirements in their region and will cover a specific area of regulatory focus within their compliance program that has created challenges, innovation and that may set a precedent for other areas of the country.
