        <RULE_TITLE>Stormwater Regulations Revision to Address Discharges From Developed Sites</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[: Stormwater discharges from developed areas are a major cause of degradation of surface waters due to the conveyance of pollutants and the erosive power of increased stormwater flow rates and volumes. Current stormwater regulations were promulgated in 1990 and 1999. In 2006, the Office of Water asked the National Research Council (NRC) to review the stormwater program and recommend ways to strengthen it. The NRC Report, which was finalized in October 2008, found that the current stormwater program ". . . is not likely to adequately control stormwater's contribution to waterbody impairment" and recommended that EPA take action to address the harmful effects of stormwater flow. This proposed action would establish requirements for, at minimum, managing stormwater discharges from newly developed and re-developed sites, to reduce the amount of pollutants in stormwater discharges entering receiving waters by reducing the discharge of excess stormwater, and may take other actions to implement improved control of stormwater pollution and more efficient rainwater use. This action could promote the use of green infrastructure approaches to manage stormwater.]]></ABSTRACT>
