NEW STORMWATER REGULATIONS WILL HELP TO CLEAN UP THE CHARLES RIVER

On November 17, U.S. EPA and MassDEP announced new stormwater regulations that will require some privately-owned businesses in the Charles River watershed to reduce stormwater runoff from their property. This milestone addresses a major source of pollution to the river, and was made based on CRWA's science and research, and advocacy efforts in partnership with Conservation Law Foundation.
