In the fall of 2017, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) solicited input to identify technical assistance and outreach needs of the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) regulated community. The MPCA conducted an electronic survey of representatives from the MS4 regulated community, including municipal program managers, consultants, and staff involved in implementing local stormwater pollution prevention programs (SWPPPs). The results can be found on the [[2017 MS4 Technical Assistance and Outreach Needs Survey Results]] page.

MS4 Accelerated Implementation

The goal of this project is to provide assistance to MS4s to build sustainable and effective local stormwater management programs. The MS4 General Permit is focused on the document activities level, so we need to help municipal staff understand the context of the permit requirements and how it fits into the bigger picture.

Meeting our goal means that well have:

  • informed and empowered staff – people who have the knowledge and resources to implement their program
  • staff accountable to program outcomes – people set goals for their program and review successes and failures and modify programs as needed
  • the ability to leverage partnerships and others’ knowledge – no need to recreate the wheel.

MS4 survey

In the fall of 2017, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) solicited input to identify technical assistance and outreach needs of the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) regulated community. The MPCA conducted an electronic survey of representatives from the MS4 regulated community, including municipal program managers, consultants, and staff involved in implementing local stormwater pollution prevention programs (SWPPPs). The results can be found on the 2017 MS4 Technical Assistance and Outreach Needs Survey Results page.
