U.S. EPA Publishes New Guidance on Watershed Permitting

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published new technical guidance that it says will help integrate National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits into watershed management plans. Watershed-Based NPDES Permitting Technical Guidance is a follow-up to EPA's 2003 implementation guidance and leads interested parties through the analysis of watershed data and developing a framework for implementing an NPDES program, according to an EPA news release.
