Municipal storm water discharge permits are
required for Milwaukee, Madison, municipalities in the Great Lake
Area of Concern, municipalities in DNR Priority Watersheds, and any
significant pollutant contributors. Municipal permits focus on pollution
prevention, eliminating illicit discharges to storm sewers, and monitoring
to gauge effectiveness. Under EPA Phase II regulations, approximately
200 municipalities statewide will need a municipal storm water discharge
permit in 2003.
