Stormwater Management Regulations
Abstract
This chapter covers federal regulations to improve the quality of water in national streams and lakes. The regulations include the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1972 and the National Pollutants Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phases I and II and Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 Section 438. Following the enactment of CWA and NPDES, states adopted their own stormwater management regulations to address the issue of runoff quality. Brief descriptions are given of the regulations for the states of New Jersey, Maryland and New York.
