Connecting Stormwater Permits & TMDLs

Author/Source: Gayle Killam, River Network; Barry Sulkin; Jeffery Odefey, Jeffery Odefey Consulting/Aquaint

The connection is not being made between stormwater-induced problems in the rivers and the permits that are intended to control stormwater pollution. States, local governments and EPA are all missing this critical link as they develop and implement stormwater permits, management plans and local programs and ordinances. In this workshop, we will work with actual restoration plans (TMDLs) and stormwater permits to identify how this connection should work. Participants will be armed to perform similar analyses when they return home.
