The EPA has announced that it will host a variety of workshops regarding municipal stormwater plans and the Clean Water Act's objectives for higher water quality in the future.

Through the workshops, the EPA will hopefully be able to create a planning approach framework that can assist municipalities as they strive to utilize their infrastructure assets in a more sustainable manner, which will ultimately help the agency improve the quality of the country's water resources.

During the workshops, representatives of various organizations will be able to discuss future municipal stormwater and wastewater plans regarding the Clean Water Act.

Members of the public may also participate in the workshops as observers, even if they have no plans of making verbal comments. To participate, the public must preregister at this site by Jan. 20, 2012.

Additionally, the public is invited to share their input by Feb. 29, 2012.
