国家污染物排放消除系统(NPDES)许可证

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program was created in 1972 by the Clean 水 Act (CWA).  It addresses water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants to waters of the United States.

The CWA prohibits entities from discharging pollutants through a point source, 如联合Sewer或雨水排水口, 变成“美国的水”，除非他们有NPDES许可证.  The 环境al Protection Agency (EPA) issues NPDES 许可证 for Massachusetts.  许可证载有许可证持有人可排放的物质的限制, 监控和报告要求, and other provisions to ensure that the discharge does not impair water quality.

EPA has issued two NPDES 许可证 to BWSC:  a Combined Sewer Overflow (方案) and an 雨水 NPDES Permit.

BWSC's current 方案 NPDES Permit requires that BWSC comply with the EPA's Nine Minimum Controls and prohibits overflows from combined Sewers in dry weather. Any overflows in dry weather, a rare occurrence, are reported to the EPA within 24 hours. 

方案 NPDES许可证还要求BWSC提交年度报告. These reports have been submitted to the US EPA and Massachusetts Department of 环境al Protection since 1990. 

Over the past several years BWSC has developed a web page that identifies when BWSC's 方案 outfalls discharge.

合集Sewer溢水

BWSC的雨水许可证于1999年由美国环保署颁发. 根据雨洪许可证, BWSC is required to develop and implement stormwater pollution prevention and management programs that are designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the municipal storm drainage system to the maximum extent practicable. 

除了, BWSC is required to report annually to the EPA and the 马萨诸塞州环境保护部 regarding the status of its pollution prevention and stormwater management programs. The annual report provide summaries of stormwater mangement activities undertaken by BWSC including, 排水口筛选的描述, 监控, 以及非法连接补救计划. Also included are BWSC's annual expenditures for stormwater programs and assessments of structural controls.
