Phase II Storm Water: What is it?

The Environmental Protection Agency's Phase II Storm Water Regulations were established as part of the Clean Water Act of 1972. CWA Section 402(p)(6) requires Phase II storm water program regulations. This requirement resulted in: Interim Phase II Final Rule (1995) Phase II Proposed Rule (1998) Phase II Final Rule (1999) The Phase II Final Rule was signed on October 29, 1999. The Final Rule was published in the Federal Register on December 8, 1999. The Rule and fact sheets area available at: www.epa.gov/npdes  Phase II Permit Summary Interlocal Agreement Storm Water Map

What Can You Do to Help?

We all need to work to keep our water clean because we all are connected to our rivers and lakes by our storm drain system. We may not be able to see it but be it through a ditch or storm drain from your house it will ultimately connect to our local streams and lakes. Please, do your part in helping keep it clean with the following simple steps. Help keep pollution out of storm drains Carefully store and dispose of household cleaners, chemicals, and oil - Contact Madisonville Sanitation at 824-2117 for more proper disposal information. Clean up after your pet Practice good car care Choose earth friendly landscaping please contact the Save water We might not be able to see how it gets there but what we do at our home will affect our streams and lakes.
