Stormwater Information

The Town of Leicester is committed to following stormwater regulations and mandates to help reduce pollution in our water sources.  Stormwater pollution is the toxic mix of bacteria, chemicals, metals, nutrients and other contaminants that wash over pavement/impervious surfaces and flow down storm drains to the waterways relied upon for drinking and recreation.  Click on the links below to learn more about how you can help prevent stormwater pollution and check back periodically for more information.

Stormwater Management Program (SWMP)
The SWMP describes and details the activities and measures that will be implemented to meet the terms and conditions of the permit. The SWMP accurately describes the permittees plans and activities. The document should be updated and/or modified during the permit term as the permittee's activities are modified, changed or updated to meet permit conditions during the permit term. The main elements of the stormwater management program are (1) a public education program in order to affect public behavior causing stormwater pollution, (2) an opportunity for the public to participate and provide comments on the stormwater program (3) a program to effectively find and eliminate illicit discharges within the MS4 (4) a program to effectively control construction site stormwater discharges to the MS4 (5) a program to ensure that stormwater from development projects entering the MS4 is adequately controlled by the construction of stormwater controls, and (6) a good housekeeping program to ensure that stormwater pollution sources on municipal properties and from municipal operations are minimized.
