Stormwater Bylaw Revisions

Revisions to Ayer’s Stormwater Bylaws

 

The Town of Ayer is required to revise its Stormwater Bylaws to meet EPA/MassDEP’s 2016 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. The existing Stormwater Bylaws to be revised include Article 47 – NPDES Phase II Stormwater Bylaw and Article 48 – Illicit Discharges to the Municipal Storm Drain Systems.

The Ayer Department of Public Works is tasked with MS4 stewardship for the Town and has led a Workgroup consisting of member(s) of the Conservation Commission, Planning Board, Residents, and Consultant to guide the required revisions to Ayer’s Stormwater Bylaws.

Revisions to the Bylaws require Town Meeting approval and an Article will be submitted for Annual Town Meeting in April 2021.
