Talk:Stormwater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The last version was somewhat inaccurate. The non point source provisions of the clean water act were adopted by congress in 1987. It took EPA a few years to issue the first NPDES permits under phase I of the program. Most permits were issued by EPA or the responsible state agencies to phase I permittees around 1991. Some areas were a bit earlier and some a bit later. Phase II of the program kicked in in 2003, which primarily added small cities of less than 100,000 persons, other large property owners such as school districts, and construction sites of 1 acre or more to the NPDES permitting requirements.

[edit] article title should be stormwater
more commonly in the technical literature, stormwater is one word not two. obviously there should be a redirect from storm water. Anlace 20:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
