Phase II stormwater management program Under Phase II of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), part of the Clean Water Act, Federal regulations require regulated stormwater communities to obtain a permit and to develop plans that contain schedules, best management practices and measurable goals for stormwater management. White Lake Township is currently developing and seeking approval on plans which include An Illicit Discharge Elimination Plan (IDEP), a Public Education Plan (PEP), a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Initiative (SWIPPI) and a Watershed Plan (WP). These documents will be available after approval from MDEQ. What is stormwater? Stormwater is generated by rainwater and snowmelt runoff from streets, parking lots, building rooftops, lawns, farms, construction sites, industrial sites and many other aspects of the landscape. This runoff picks up fertilizers, dirt, pesticides, oil and grease, and many other pollutants on the way to our rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. Stormwater runoff is our most common cause of water pollution. SEMCOG website U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Stormwater Program Watershed Management What is a watershed? A watershed is an area of land that drains into a common body of water. White Lake Township lies mostly within the Huron River Watershed with the exception of a few acres in the northeast portion of the Township that are tributary to the Clinton River. |
