Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control

The Town is authorized to discharge stormwater through the Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit for small MS4s. The construction site stormwater runoff control program required by our permit is a separate and distinct program from EPA’s stormwater construction permit program.

An effective construction stormwater runoff control program minimizes or eliminates erosion and maintains sediment on site so that it is not transported in stormwater and allowed to discharge through a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4).
