Stormwater Steering Committee Gearing Up

It's my impression that the Minnesota Stormwater Steering Committee is gearing up for some exciting progress: Workgroups are being formed and workplans are being finalized. A new employee at the PCA is now dedicated to working on the long-overdue stormwater industrial permit (in the absence of EPA direction) ... and the Steering Committee has a workgroup dedicated to helping PCA staff write that permit. Oh, and the Pollution Prevention unit at the PCA now has a complimentary workgroup (the Low-Impact Design workgroup) on the Steering Committee.

A Web-based forum will soon give SSC workgroups the ability to communicate effectively between meetings.
