CAEP Comments on Proposed Stormwater Rule

The Coalition of Applied Environmental Professionals (CAEP) submitted formal comments this week on the proposed stormwater management rule, calling for clearer discharge thresholds and stronger safeguards for sensitive watersheds. The comments draw on input from chapters across the region and reflect months of technical review by CAEP’s water resources committee. CAEP urged regulators to adopt a phased compliance timeline that gives municipalities adequate time to upgrade aging infrastructure.
