Stormwater Regulations

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority has prepared a public participation involvement program in compliance with the federal and state National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II stormwater regulations.  This program includes educational displays, public notices of the entire Phase II program, and availability of stormwater information on the web.  

Educational displays have been prepared by 8 th grade students from the Groton-Dunstable Regional Middle School and are presented at the Tourist Information booths along the turnpike. 

The Phase II report has been submitted to each local municipality.  You can also read more about the Federal and Massachusetts DEP stormwater programs by clicking on the links.  To find interesting information about your watershed and what you can do to help improve stormwater run-off quality, visit the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Web site.  You will also find up to date erosion and sediment control methods and articles featured in Erosion Control.
