CLD can assist municipalities in developing a Storm Water Management Program that includes Best Management Practices (BMPs) and measurable goals for each of the minimum control measures as designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The BMPs and measurable goals for each of these elements must be included in the permit application of the Notice of Intent (NOI).
Measurable goals would be established to gauge compliance and program effectiveness. These goals would reflect the needs and characteristics of the individual Town and the areas served by the storm water systems.
Part of the requirements in the development of a storm water management plan under the Phase II NOI will include annual reporting to the EPA. The reporting would be a basis for gauging the effectiveness and compliance within the developed plan. Documented actions would be included in the annual reports. Information such as the number of outfalls screened, complaints received and corrected, the number of discharges and quantities of flow eliminated, and the number of dye or smoke tests conducted would be included in these annual reports.
CLD is currently under contract with a number of municipalities throughout Northern New England to establish the appropriate NPDES Phase II Programs and annual reporting processes.
