EOR collaborates on study of watershed-based
management & permitting
EOR
joined with Smith Partners law firm to examine options for improved
watershed-local MS4 collaboration in the BWSR sponsored study
of "Watershed-based Management and Permitting". The
study focused on developing practical approaches toward achieving
more integrated watershed management. A key component of the study
involved gathering input from stakeholders involved in watershed
management; nearly 150 stakeholders shared comments through a
series of listening sessions, an online survey, and pilot studies
involving MS4 communities and watershed management organizations
(WMO).
Key
Findings & Recommendations include:
- There are no significant legal barriers to improved collaboration
- Collaboration is likely to result in cost savings to the state
and local
units
- State stormwater management agencies should collaborate to improve
alignment of water planning processes
- MPCA should evaluate potential changes to the General MS4 Permit
to allow SWPPPs to be integrated into local water plans
- The State Stormwater Steering Committee should pursue implementing
the recommendations.
