EPA Holds Listening Sessions On Potential Chesapeake Bay Stormwater Rule
|
|
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will hold five listening sessions and one webcast, including one session in Pennsylvania, to seek feedback from citizens on provisions in a proposed stormwater rule that will affect the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In December 2009, EPA initiated a national rulemaking to better protect waterbodies from the harmful effects of stormwater discharges from new development and redevelopment. EPA is now soliciting input specifically on potential provisions of the stormwater rulemaking with respect to the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As part of the listening sessions, EPA will also address environmental justice considerations.
The Pennsylvania sessions will be:
-- November 16, 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. webcast listening session; and
-- November 17, Harrisburg, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. for the listening session and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for the environmental justice discussion.
EPA will accept written comments on the potential rule until 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
To register or for more information on the listening sessions, visit the EPA Chesapeake Stormwater Program webpage.
