ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Feb. 7, 2017)—The Water Environment Federation (WEF) is accepting applications for the National Municipal Stormwater and Green Infrastructure Awards Program.

Phase I and Phase II municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permit holders are invited to submit applications by April 1, 2017.

The winners will be announced this summer following an expert committee review and selection process. Each applicant will be designated a bronze, silver or gold community within the categories of program management and innovation.

WEF also will identify high performers in program management and innovation. The Phase I and Phase II communities with the overall highest score will be recognized this fall at WEFTEC 2017.

The MS4 awards program launched in 2015 through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Click here for more information about the program.
