NPDES Stormwater Program


 

Program Information

The City of Newark has joined forces with the University of Delaware in developing a stormwater management program.  Our program is in response to the Environmental Protection Agency requirement that entities with less than 100,000 in population have NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit coverage for their storm sewer system by March 10, 2003.

·         Public Education and Outreach

·         Public Involvement and Participation

·         Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination

·         Construction Site Runoff Controls

What We Strive to Accomplish

Together we hope to improve the quality of stormwater runoff reaching our creeks and tributaries.  Stopping pollution at its source is the most effective way to prevent harmful pollutants from being washed by stormwater runoff into our storm drains, and ultimately, our creeks and tributaries.
