Tier A Municipal Stormwater Permit

The Tier A Municipal Stormwater General Permit authorizes the discharge of stormwater from small municipal separate storm sewers.  The permit was issued in response to USEPA’s phase II rules.  Tier A municipalities are generally located within the more densely populated regions of the state or along or near the coast. The Tier A permit addresses stormwater quality issues related to both new and existing development.
