EPA Plans Regional Meetings
EPA Plans Regional Meetings on New Framework for Integrated Wastewater Planning
Last month EPA’s Offices of Water and Compliance and Enforcement Assistance issued a memo to all regional offices announcing the agency’s commitment to using an integrated planning process to help local governments prioritize infrastructure investments to address the most serious water quality issues first and to provide flexibility to use innovative, cost-effective stormwater and wastewater management solutions. At a stakeholder dialogue, EPA Water Permits Division Director Deborah Nagel and Water Enforcement Division Director Mark Pollins announced that the agency intends to hold public meetings early in the New Year to present the new framework for integrated municipal stormwater and wastewater management plans. The dates, times and directions for participating will be published in the Federal Register shortly and APWA will make that information available to our members through the website and infoNOW communities.
