Abstract

On July 18, 2016, the Center for Regulatory Reasonableness (CRR) filed a petition for review of the final NPDES general permit for discharges of stormwater from small MS4s in Massachusetts issued on April 4, 2016. CLF, CRWA, MCWRS, Franklin, NAHB, HBRAMA, and the City of Lowell also filed petitions for review of the permit, all of which were consolidated with CRR’s petition in the D.C. Circuit. On February 1, 2017, CLF filed a petition for review of the final NPDES general permit for discharges of stormwater from small MS4s in New Hampshire issued on January 18, 2017 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. CRR, NAHB, and NHHBA later filed petitions for review in the D.C. Circuit. The D.C. Circuit entered both consolidated cases into mediation in 2017 and assigned the same mediators to each case, while holding the cases in abeyance. The first two proposed settlement agreements describe the modifications that EPA would propose to the MA MS4 Permit and NH MS4 Permit. The third settlement agreement commits Lowell, Massachusetts to voluntarily dismiss its petition without prejudice and commits EPA to process Lowell’s individual permit application and then to take final action on Lowell’s individual permit application.
