Stormwater

Woburn developed a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) with the goals of reducing the discharge of pollutants from the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable by developing and implementing best management practices (BMPs) for the following six minimum control measures:

• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Participation / Involvement
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Construction Site Runoff Control
• Post-Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelopment
• Pollution prevention / Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations

General Stormwater Permit

The Department of Public Works operates the City's stormwater drainage system under a Phase II General Stormwater Permit issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as part of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permitting program. The City's permit number is MAR041073. 

The Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit is part of a federally mandated program to address water pollution from stormwater under the Clean Water Act. The Phase II Stormwater Management Program page provides more information on this program and the City's permit.
