Storm Water Permitting in Georgia

Proceedings of the 1993 Georgia Water Resources Conference, April 20-21, 1993, Athens, Georgia.The 1987 re-authorization of the Clean Water Act by the U.S. Congress mandated the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate storm water discharges under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Storm water and other non-point sources are leading sources of water pollution that are just beginning to be regulated. The Clean Water Act specified that storm water discharges from both municipal separate storm sewer systems and industrial facilities be regulated. In November 1990, the EPA published the first of a series of regulations regarding storm water discharges.Sponsored and Organized by: U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThis book was published by the Institute of Natural Resources, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602 with partial funding provided by the U.S. Department of Interior, Geological Survey, through the Georgia Water Research Institute as authorized by the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 (P.L. 98-242).
