Stormwater Permit Reports

In 2007, Hastings submitted our first storm water permit. We updated it in 2013 and again in 2021. This permit is part of a national program called the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). It was created under the Federal Clean Water Act to help keep our water clean and healthy.

What’s in the Permit?

Each permit lasts five years. As part of the permit, we created a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This plan explains how we reduce pollution in storm water—rain or snowmelt that runs off streets, roofs and driveways.

Our plan focuses on six key areas:

1. Public education and outreach
2. Public participation and involvement
3. Illicit discharge detection and elimination
4. Construction site storm water runoff control
5. Post construction storm water management in new development and redevelopment
6. Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations

What We Do Each Year

To meet these goals, we follow 34 Best Management Practices (BMPs) — these are steps that help protect water quality.

• Keep records of the actions we take
• Report our progress to the state
• Hold a public meeting to share updates and hear your feedback
