Washington State Department of Ecology Comment Period for Draft Municipal Stormwater Permits Ends Next Month

In the fall of 2011, Ecology released draft municipal stormwater permits for a 3 1/2 month-long public comment period: Phase I Municipal Stormwater Permit, Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit and the Eastern Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. The permits are open for public review and comment until February 3, 2012.

According to the DOE, the Department will consider public comments as it revises the permits and plans to issue the final permits in June 2012 with a response to comments. For more information, contact James Tupper at tupper@tmw-law.com.
