Abstract: In order to evaluate current stormwater management practices, the scope of the current state and local programs, current new and redevelopment projects, and any EPA regulation to control long term stormwater discharges from developed sites, EPA is proposing several data collection activities. Because this regulation could impact many different types of entities, the ICR announced today consists of multiple questionnaire instruments designed to collect information from: owners and developers of residential, commercial, industrial, and non-commercial sites; owners and operators of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) (including transportation-related facilities such as state, county, and local departments of transportation that own/operate roadway systems); and states and EPA regions which are NPDES permitting authorities.
