Resources for Stormwater Permit Managers

Permit Language
To reduce winter salts entering Maryland's ecosystems and the Chesapeake Bay, MDE has incorporated language into Phase 1 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits for counties to develop a County Salt Management Plan (SMP). A plan for evaluation of new equipment and methods, including outreach, trainings, tracking and reporting.
Currently, Phase II MS4 permit holders are required to quantify and report pollution prevention efforts related to good housekeeping methods for snow and ice control, such as use of pretreatment, truck calibration and storage, and salt dome storage and containment.
The Chloride Resources Clearinghouse is an information-sharing platform, providing innovative and alternative chloride reduction resources. It is a collaborative effort between NEIWPCC and the salty folks at the EPA’s Chloride Technical Management Workgroup.
