Purpose: This web site has been authorized by the Palm Beach County MS4 NPDES (PBC NPDES) Steering Committee as a resource for all co-permittees within the county. It is intended that this site will provide the user with helpful information on understanding and complying with the requirements of the NPDES permit.

Steering Committee

To coordinate the joint activities in Palm Beach County's MS4 NPDES program, the co-permittees established a seven-member NPDES Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is comprised of one representative from the lead permittee, two representatives of smaller municipalities, one representative of the special districts and one representative from Palm Beach County. The Committee meets regularly (approximately monthly) at the offices of the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District (NPBCID) to coordinate the program. A listing of the current MS4 NPDES Steering Committee and Administrative personnel is listed below.

The Steering Committee workshops have provided a valuable resource for the co-permittees to coordinate and discuss activities for the implementation of stormwater management programs. Reporting forms for structural controls, dry weather screening and illicit discharges have been developed and distributed to the co-permittees. Educational workshops have included hazardous spill response procedures and educational materials associated with disposal techniques for oils, toxics, household waste materials, etc. Some of the co-permittees have purchased equipment to maintain roadways, swales, catchbasins and stormwater systems.
