Municipal Storm Water
Are You Ready for May 2008?

Click here for the BROCHURE (pdf) By May 2008, your community is required to have a fully-operational Municipal Storm Water Management Program. This requires your community to provide education to its citizens, businesses and employees on storm water issues, provide opportunities for public involvement, have a program to proactively identify and eliminate illicit discharges to the storm sewer system, review plans for construction and post-construction runoff control, inspect new development sites for compliance with those plans and implement pollution prevention practices at municipal operations. Are you ready? Regulatory agencies and community educational and nonprofit organizations have pooled their expertise. We are presenting a series of workshops to help you comply. Questions? Check web site or contact Adrienne La Favre ((330)-963-1250 or Adrienne.LaFavre@epa.state.oh.us. The titles and dates of our workshops are listed below. One month before each workshop, you will be able to see the agendas and details about each workshop by clicking on the title. Please register as soon as you can. REGISTRATION FORM If you missed the workshop, click below and find the presentations, power point with audio, and all the handouts for the workshop.
