Yesterday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a draft permit that could dramatically reduce stormwater pollution in the Charles, Mystic, and Neponset Rivers coming from large properties with expansive paved surfaces. The draft permit would require private properties with an acre or more of impervious surfaces to implement measures to reduce stormwater runoff such as creating rain gardens or underground infiltration systems. This decision is a step in the direction of improving water quality and minimizing stormwater pollution. Read more about the decision and its implications in new articles by WBUR, WGBH, and The Boston Globe.
