Federal Stormwater Regulations

According to the U.S. EPA, “states report that non-point source pollution is the leading remaining cause of water quality problems. The effects of non-point source pollutants on specific waters vary and may not always be fully assessed. However, we know that these pollutants have harmful effects on drinking water supplies, recreation, fisheries, and wildlife.”

To address the impacts of non-point source pollution nationwide, the EPA has developed a federal program under the Clean Water Act to regulate stormwater discharge from industrial facilities, construction sites and municipal sewer systems. This program is the foundation for state and municipal stormwater management programs and guides the permitting process and water quality standards within each state.

The EPA has also established the Total Maximum Daily Load Program, a program to manage water pollution to water bodies that are not meeting federal water quality standards.
