PRESENTATION:
Brandon Meyers – MS4 Permit Presentation
Performed the yearly required MS4 update, year 10 of 10, which is the final year for the permit.
There is another permitting session in the upcoming year for an additional five years until DEP
and EPA figure out what is next. Currently the Borough is in compliance with the permit. New
items for the next five year permit is that DEP wants to see a full mapping of the storm sewer
system and a Chesapeake Bay plan that has to be submitted within the first year of the new
permit stating how the Borough will keep pollutants down within the Borough from flowing into
the Chesapeake Bay. Other than that there are not too many major changes to the new permit.
