Audio for "Benefits of Watershed-Based NPDES Permitting," Jul 19, 2006 (Part 2 of 2)

EPA is encouraging a watershed-based approach to permitting and is promoting this through its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program. EPA recently issued several policy memos and guidance to promote watershed-based permitting. Webcast instructors will discuss the benefits of watershed-based permitting, present an explanation of the process and several mechanisms to implement watershed-based permitting, and outline how EPA will encourage this approach. The instructors will also discuss issues related to managing stormwater and other wet weather related impacts and present a case study related to activities in the City of Richmond, VA designed to move toward a watershed-based approach.
