Paved surfaces exacerbate the negative impacts of stormwater, including a increasing the stormwater discharge volume and pollutants in stormwater. Managing stromwater onsite post-construction is the more effective way to mitigate these impacts. MS4s must have and enforce a regulatory mechanism that prevents or reduces stormwater pollution on new development and redevelopment projects.

Infiltration basin protected by silt fence during construction

Paved surfaces exacerbate the negative impacts of stormwater, including a increasing the stormwater discharge volume and pollutants in stormwater. Managing stromwater onsite post-construction is the more effective way to mitigate these impacts. MS4s must have and enforce a regulatory mechanism that prevents or reduces stormwater pollution on new development and redevelopment projects.
