Many municipalities with storm water conveyance systems (i.e. storm sewers, ditches) are now required to obtain state permits before discharging storm water to streams and lakes.  These permits are required by federal and state laws, and are administered by the Wisconsin DNR.  The permit program has been phased in over time targeting larger communities, such as Milwaukee and Madison, in Phase I.  Phase II is now affecting many more communities, including the Town of Vernon.  As part of this permit, the Town of Vernon is required to develop and implement the following programs to control storm water quality before it is discharged into our streams and lakes: 

• Public Education and Outreach  Program

• Public Participation and Involvement Program

• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program

• Construction Site Runoff Control Program

• Post-Construction Runoff Control Program

• Storm Water Quality Management Program

• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Program
