Did the MPCA’s general stormwater permit for small cities meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act? Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy v. MPCA (Minn. App. C6-02-1243)(May 6, 2003). MPCA’s general permit covering stormwater discharge by small municipalities (NPDES Phase II) reversed and remanded for: failing to provide adequate public notice and opportunity to comment; filing to determine whether general permit would result in espanded discharges; and failing to provide that discharges shall reduce pollutants (rather than simply “minimize” them).
