WEF Comment Letter on proposed EPA NPDES Changes
WEF has submitted comments to to help EPA determine whether and how to modify the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations as they apply to municipal sanitary sewer collection systems and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs).
The Water Environment Federation (WEF) fully endorses EPA’s decision to collect information and views in support of developing a comprehensive program addressing sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and peak flows. These critical environmental management issues must be effectively addressed in order to improve both the quality of our nation’s waters and the health and safety of local communities. WEF stands ready, as always, to technically support EPA in these efforts.
Read the full comment letter. WEF also contributed a presentation on benchmarking sanitary sewer maintenance programs.
Comments are due August 2. Visit EPA’s site for more information.
