The City of Rock Island will hold an informational meeting on Wednesday, December 13, 2017, at 6:00 PM, at the Rock Island Police Department Community Room, 1212 5th Avenue, Rock Island, to discuss the City’s Stormwater Management Program that includes the MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems) permit.
MS4s are required to develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the storm sewer system to the maximum extent practicable.
This meeting will discuss steps Rock Island takes specifically to comply with the MS4 permit and give the public an opportunity to learn about the impact of stormwater discharges on local waterways and the steps that citizens, businesses, and other organizations can take to reduce the contamination of stormwater.
