Hearing to be Scheduled for Proposed Industrial Stormwater General Permit
Dec. 29, 2010 -- The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality intends to schedule a public hearing regarding the proposed issuance of a new Industrial Stormwater General Permit. The public comment period ended on Dec. 17, 2010, and, based on comments and a request for a public hearing, NDEQ Director Mike Linder decided that a hearing will be scheduled to receive further comment on the proposed general permit.
The date, time and location of this hearing are pending, but will be posted on this web site in the near future.
To view the NDEQ News item which contains the draft Industrial Stormwater General permit, go to http://www.deq.state.ne.us/Press.nsf/pages/NEWS100110. There may be some additional revisions made to this draft prior to the public notice of the hearing. Any revisions will be posted on this web site and will be available at NDEQ's Lincoln office at the time that the hearing is placed on public notice (this announcement will be made at least 30 days prior to the hearing date.)
A final decision on whether to issue or modify the draft general permit will be made after all comments from the public hearing and comment period are reviewed and considered.
It should also be noted that until a final decision on the proposed general permit is made, the existing Industrial Stormwater General permit will continue to be in effect. To view the existing Industrial Stormwater General Permit, go to http://www.deq.state.ne.us/Publica.nsf/pages/WAT011 .
