Why You Should Attend

Stormwater continues to be a significant source of concern to the health of Puget Sound and the object of ever increasing regulation. The Washington Department of Ecology has issued a new Industrial Stormwater General Permit and the EPA has issued a Clean Water Act Enforcement Action plan. There is a clear direction toward treatment and compliance with numeric standards. Compliance will be a significant challenge to many businesses and there will be particular challenges for industrial, municipal, and construction stormwater dischargers. Facilities are also under increasing scrutiny from citizen suit litigation.

We have assembled experienced representatives of state, federal and local governments, consultants and practitioners who will provide practical suggestions and insights on managing compliance and other important Clean Water Act issues.
