Rain in the forecast?

Stormwater runoff is generated from rain and snowmelt that flows over land, or surfaces such as paved roads, and does not soak into the ground. The runoff potentially encounters trash, chemicals, oils, and dirt that can be transported to surface waters.  Municipalities, construction companies, industries and others use stormwater controls to filter out pollutants and/or prevent pollution by controlling it at its source.

The NPDES stormwater program regulates discharges from municipal storm sewer systems, construction activities and industrial activities. Operators of these sources may be required to obtain a NPDES permit before they can discharge stormwater.  Enforcement of EPA's stormwater programs is typically managed at the state level.

Laboratory data from stormwater sampling events assist you in determining how well control measures are working and if your stormwater control approach is meeting applicable discharge requirements or effluent limits.
