Municipal Stormwater Regulation Program

Municipal Stormwater Permit Status
As most of you may be aware, all four (4) Municipal General Permits have expiration dates of February 28, 2014. However, these permits will remain in full force and effect until renewal permits are issued. Until then, continued implementation of all aspects of your Tier A, Tier B, Public Complex or Highway General Permit(s) is required. You will be notified once draft permits are available and have the opportunity to comment on any proposed changes at that time. Please contact your case manager if you have any specific questions on the renewal process. The Department appreciates your continued cooperation in this matter.
