Almost every municipality and utility is faced with a myriad of
clean water programs that must ultimately be implemented and many
of which come with significant capital and operational costs.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
attempting to aid the regulated community in addressing this
dilemma through the Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater
Initiative to assist NPDES permit holders in achieving compliance
with state and federal clean water requirements. The EPA
Office of Water and Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance
are currently developing a framework for these program integration
initiatives that will identify:
1) The essential components of an
integrated plan,
2) Steps for identifying
municipalities that might make best use of such an approach;
and
3) How to best implement the plans
with our state partners under the CSA permit and enforcement
programs.
