“the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced PotlatchDeltic Land & Lumber, LLC, of St. Maries, Idaho, will pay $225,000 for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act. PotlatchDeltic sits within the Coeur d’ Alene Tribe’s reservation and discharges into a section of the St. Joe River that is Tribal waters. The St. Joe River flows into Lake Coeur d’ Alene and is critical habitat for bull trout. Under the Clean Water Act, PotlatchDeltic is required to comply with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits. EPA conducted an inspection in March 2017 to evaluate PotlatchDeltic’s compliance with its permits and found PotlatchDeltic had numerous stormwater violations, such as failure to implement corrective actions following continued benchmark exceedances and implement adequate stormwater pollution prevention plan controls. Stormwater runoff from lumber facilities containing zinc and other pollutants, when not treated and discharged directly into nearby waterbodies, can cause significant harm to rivers, lakes and coastal waters. PotlatchDeltic agreed to extensive remedies to come into and remain in compliance with its Clean Water Act permits, including facility improvements, construction of a new filtration system and combining its outfalls. “ Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gt7VAvJV #stormwater #trashcapture #bmphood #civilengineering #bestmanagementproducts

In the world of stormwater management, adherence to regulations and compliance with stormwater permits play a pivotal role in safeguarding our precious water resources. The recent $107,000 penalty imposed on Robert Yundt Homes, LLC by the EPA for Clean Water Act violations serves as a stark reminder of the repercussions that can befall those who fail to uphold these vital responsibilities. By discharging pollutants into Wasilla Lake and Cottonwood Lake – important waters for anadromous fish – the company was found to have caused significant environmental impacts to the shorelines and adjacent wetlands and was hit with a hefty fine accordingly. This incident highlights the critical role we play in protecting water resources as well as the costly consequences of failing to do so. Let's continue to honor our commitment to responsible practices and environmental stewardship to preserve our invaluable water ecosystems for the well-being of our communities and future generations! https://buff.ly/445FySu. #NPDES #NPDESTraining #NPDESTrainingInstitute #TrainingThatMatters #Stormwater #StormwaterManagers #StormwaterTraining #MS4Training #MS4sMatter #WaterQuality #StormwaterManagement #CleanWaterAct #EnvironmentalProtection #Conservation #EPA #PublicComment #WaterResources

In the realm of stormwater and erosion management, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations is paramount. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) spearheads robust compliance monitoring programs, collaborating closely with states to enforce clean water laws. From on-site inspections to evaluating Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) data, rigorous monitoring efforts are in place. Under the Clean Water Act (CWA), the inspection process plays a pivotal role, documenting adherence to permits and regulations, particularly under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Inspection activities are meticulously planned, prioritizing sites near impaired waters listed under 303(d) due to water quality concerns. As stewards of environmental health, staying informed and compliant is crucial in safeguarding our water resources. Get some tips pertaining to compliance monitoring in stormwater and erosion management in the article below. It provides an overview of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proactive approach to enforcing clean water laws, as well as insights into the vital role of inspections and evaluations in ensuring regulatory adherence. Stay informed, stay compliant, and safeguard our water resources by reading on! https://buff.ly/3Rjz8LJ #ComplianceMonitoring #CleanWaterAct #NPDES #NPDESTraining #NPDESTrainingInstitute #TrainingThatMatters #Stormwater #StormwaterManagement #StormwaterProfessionals #StormwaterTraining #MS4Training #MS4sMatter #WaterQuality

The newest edition of "Outdoor Delaware," the online magazine of the Delaware Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), features an article on the DRBC's Delaware Estuary Water Quality Monitoring Program. Considered one of the longest-running monitoring programs in the world, this effort collects water quality samples once monthly from March - October at 22 stations from Trenton to Delaware Bay. The program would not be possible without DNREC's partnership, as the DRBC contracts with DNREC to perform the sampling.

For too long, New Jersey’s environmental protection rules have looked backwards, seeking to protect the state’s residents and environment from events that occurred in the past, rather than attempting to address issues that are anticipated in the future. Solutions that only address yesterday’s problems will fail to meet tomorrow’s challenges. #enviropolitics #climatechange
