Mayor says Ohio EPA will issue MS4 notice; village may need to expand stormwater management
Summary
Mayor Woodward told council he received notice the Ohio EPA will send a letter about an MS4 stormwater permit (triggered by the 2020 census), which likely will require the village to do more to manage stormwater runoff and implement public-education measures.
Mayor Woodward told council he had received a call from the Ohio EPA indicating the village will soon receive a letter about an MS4 permit. He said the notice was prompted by the 2020 census and that he had not yet received the formal letter, but that the permit process will require the village to take additional steps to manage stormwater runoff and protect water quality, likely including public-education obligations.
The mayor said he had not yet had time to gather full details and would share the written letter and next steps with council when he receives it. Council members acknowledged the likely need to assess what actions will be required and asked staff to assist as the village learns more from the EPA.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; the mayor said he would update council once the written notice arrives.
