Editor's Notes
- Phase I, issued in 1990, requires medium and large cities or certain counties with populations of 100,000 or more to obtain NPDES permit coverage for their stormwater discharges. Phase II, issued in 1999, requires regulated small MS4s in urbanized areas, as well as small MS4s outside the urbanized areas that are designated by the permitting authority, to obtain NPDES permit coverage for their stormwater discharges.

- As the pollution in the stormwater drainage is largely a function of OUR activities or OUR cars, the solution will also require everyone. This is a signficant challenge but also a great opportunity. Much less expensive to team up on a problem. Outreach and information, implementation and personal homeowner action.
