Our Water Program (NPDES II)
| Annual Reports / Informational Updates
Through the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establised the Phase II regulations in 1999. The NPDES Phase II requires permit coverage for storm water discharges from small Ms4s in urbanized areas and construction activities that disturb between 1 and 5 acres of land. Within Michigan the program is managed by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). Under the MDEQ, Genesee County and the communities that have an urbanized area, have applied for and received permits called certificate of coverage. One of the requirements of this permit is submitting an annual report, due November 1 of each year.
