Public review of general permits

Several states are now making general permit “Notices of Intent” available to the public.

A 9th Circuit Court decision regarding municipal stormwater permits requires some form of public review for every stormwater management plan. This decision may lead to greater public review opportunities for all generally permitted activities.

(Environmental Defense Center, Inc. v. EPA, 344 F.3d 832 (9th Cir. 2003))
