Does Natick have a Stormwater Program and why?
Yes, Natick does have a Stormwater Program. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that certain communities such as Natick must file for a permit under the Phase II National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. This program required communities such as Natick to create a Stormwater Master Plan that address six Minimum Control Measures. These measures will be addressed by the Town implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) appropriate for Natick’s community. The BMPs will commence according to the schedules provided in the NPDES Phase II Permit.
