The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a new framework to help local governments meet their Clean Water Act obligations. The Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Planning Approach Framework assists EPA regional offices, states, and local governments to develop voluntary storm and wastewater management plans and implement effective integrated approaches to reduce overflows from wastewater systems and pollution from stormwater.
EPA's framework outlines new flexibility to pursue innovative, cost-saving solutions, like green infrastructure to help communities as they develop storm and wastewater infrastructure plans.
The framework also highlights the importance of controlling and managing releases of storm and wastewater into the waters of the US.
