An Indiana Bill (HB 1096) on Stormwater Management, has passed the House and is going for a vote in the Senate. It prohibits cities and other local governments with separate storm sewers (MS4) from having more stringent Stormwater requirements than the Indiana State rule of 1 acre. 

Construction Requirements of MS4

HB 1096 specifically prohibits the person responsible for the development, implementation, or enforcement of the requirements established by a city, town, conservancy district, or other public or private entity that owns, operates, or maintains a regulated municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) from imposing construction site run-off control requirements more stringent than the construction site run-off control requirements established by the general permit authorized by the article of the Indiana administrative code on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit rule program.

We will keep you informed of any updates.
