Rulemaking Considerations
The proposed national rulemaking is considering the following key rulemaking actions:
- Develop performance standards from newly developed and redeveloped sites to better address stormwater management as projects are built;
- Explore options for expanding the protections of the municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) program;
- Evaluate options for establishing and implementing a municipal program to reduce discharges from existing development;
- Evaluate establishing a single set of minimum measures requirements for regulated MS4s. However, industrial requirements may only apply to regulated MS4s serving populations of 100,000 or more;
- Explore options for establishing specific requirements for transportation facilities; and
- Evaluating additional provisions specific to the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
