Title: NPDES Regulations to Address Water Quality Impacts From Forest Road Discharges 
Abstract: The EPA will propose to use flexible non-permitting approaches under the Clean Water Act to regulate certain discharges of stormwater from forest roads, including logging roads, in order to address water quality impacts from those discharges. The EPA recognizes that effective best management practices (BMPs) exist that protect receiving waters and minimize impacts. The EPA plans to propose approaches that leverage effective BMP programs.
