County discusses MS4 stormwater planning; presenters favor a countywide approach
Summary
At the April 28 meeting, the board heard an Ohio EPA MS4 presentation on municipal storm sewer systems; presenters and staff said a 'whole county' MS4 plan would be most effective and noted RCAP as a potential funding partner.
Engineers and Soil and Water staff provided an overview of MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) requirements and described how MS4 boundaries are determined and which conveyances are included. Presenters emphasized that a 'whole county' plan would likely be the most effective approach for managing stormwater and preventing untreated runoff from entering local waterways.
The presentation noted funding and technical assistance options, including RCAP, which supports water-quality improvements in rural communities. No formal action was taken; the discussion was informational and focused on planning considerations and next steps.
