Stormwater runoff is a major threat to local waterways that will be significantly exacerbated by our changing climate. A new Massachusetts municipal stormwater (MS4) permit was issued in 2016 that includes special requirements for communities in the Charles River watershed.
CRWA hosted a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit workshop sponsored by Foundation for MetroWest to help our community partners better understand these requirements. Our diverse and experienced speakers will address many relevant topics including the funding sources, legal analysis, and kicking off your phosphorus control plans. The training is geared towards municipal staff and/or volunteer boards who are responsible for MS4 compliance in one of the thirty-five Charles River municipalities. Town consultants are welcomed, please let us know which town you work with.
Note: while we will acknowledge changes made in the amended permit currently out for public comment, this webinar will not focus on changes made in the amended permit.
Speakers: Julie Wood (CRWA), Newton Tedder (EPA), Andrew Goldberg (Kleinfelder), James McKay (Millis Department of Public Works), and Paige Dolci (Mass Audubon)
