Agency. 


ACTION: Notice and Request for Public 


Comment. 


SUMMARY: The Regional Administrator 

of the Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA) New England Regional 

Office is providing notice of the 

availability of a preliminary 

determination that certain stormwater 

discharges in the Charles River 

watershed located in Bellingham, 

Milford, and Franklin, Massachusetts 

will be required to obtain permit 

coverage under the National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

of the Clean Water Act. EPA is seeking 

public comment on the nature and 

scope of this preliminary residual 

designation. The period for comment on 

this preliminary residual designation 

will remain open until the close of the 

public comment period on any NPDES 

general or individual permit related to 

this preliminary residual designation. 

However, EPA strongly encourages 

interested parties to submit their 

comments within 45 days of the 

commencement of the comment period, 

after which EPA intends to review this 

preliminary residual designation and to 

decide whether to make any changes to 

it. It is EPA’s intention to make a final 

residual designation following the close 

of the comment period on any 

associated NPDES permit. Copies of the 

preliminary residual designation are 

available for inspection online and in 

hardcopy as described elsewhere in this 

document.
