EBC’s A Great Bay Estuary Update: Permitting and Regulatory Impacts
September 21, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am
This EBC New Hampshire webinar will provide an overview and update on a new and cutting-edge NPDES General Permit that is likely to be used as model in the future for estuaries receiving effluent from multiple publicly owned treatment works (“POTW”). The program will focus on the health of the Great Bay Estuary and the Great Bay Total Nitrogen General Permit issued in 2021 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in coordination with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (“NH DES”) and 13 POTWs that discharge to Great Bay. The Total Nitrogen General Permit is the first of its kind in the New England Region and sets important goals for enhancing and restoring the health of the Great Bay Estuary. This program will: (1) outline the current health of the Great Bay estuary, (2) summarize the complex permitting aspects that regulate discharges into this unique Estuary of National Significance, (3) discuss future State and federal permitting goals for the Estuary, and (4) assess potential impacts that the new regulatory requirements have on local municipalities, industries, and businesses.
During the program, you will learn about the scientific, legal, and regulatory foundations of the General Permit and how it will be implemented. You will hear different perspectives from the EPA, NH DES, the Conservation Law Foundation, regulated municipalities, and impacted businesses.
A robust panel discussion with the audience will conclude the webinar.
