PTAPP Meeting 4May 19, 2015

How to get others to PTAPP?

• Upper watershed• Non-regulated• Distant from Great Bay

• Small towns

Regulatory Defense

• MS4 Waiver communities – others?• Doing PTAPP and stormwaterordinances may keep the regulators away

Legal defense• Tracking BMPs• If fail, know what was installed and what O&M was supposed to happen

• Lawsuits about flooding and stormwater control

• Good municipal governance

Other

• State regs? Water quality, wetlands, AoT, TMDLs, getting off the 303d

• Discussion

Really?

Tracking Item Matrix Discussion:Updates and Prioritization

Next Steps: Where do we go from here?

Communities track, account, and report on their own; no regional coordination 

Communities track common items using their own platforms & accounting methods; regional assistance provided for some tracking items; communities produce own reports

Communities track common items using shared accounting methods and platform; regional assistance provided for some tracking items; communities obtain reporting outputs through the shared platform

A regional entity oversees tracking, accounting, and reporting via a master platform; regional entity produces reports and data outputs for communities; communities provide guidance/oversight to regional entity 

Potential Tracking & Accounting Scenarios
