New EPA Rule on Stormwater from Construction Sites

A new Final Rule from the EPA sets, for the first time, monitoring requirements and numeric effluent limits on stormwater discharges to waters from construction sites. The Final Rule, which was issued pursuant to a Court Order, will be effective 60 days following publication in the Federal Register.
