Why is Storm Water a Concern?
Storm water runoff is rain water and snow melt that runs off the land and enters streams, rivers, and lakes, often flowing through a community's storm sewer system. Storm water runoff can contain toxic chemicals, oil and grease, pesticides, metals, and other contaminants that are a major source of water pollution and can potentially pose a threat to public health and the environment.
In order to continue improving the water quality of stormwater runoff and mitigate the harmful effects of pollution, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set regulations that require municipalities to obtain permits through the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and prepare annual Facility Inspection Reports. The Village of Bartlett must follow the EPA’s storm water requirements for populations less than 100,000 classified as Storm Water Phase II.
Storm Water Phase II programs and the annual reports must address these topics:
-
Public education and outreach
-
Public participation/involvement
-
Illicit discharge detection and elimination
-
Construction Site Runoff Control
-
Post-Construction Runoff Control
-
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
More information about these program components is available on the NPDES section of the EPA’s website.
