Stormwater Management Plan
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln developed a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) in compliance with the university's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. This permit requires that all permit holders meet stormwater pollutant reductions to improve the health of surface waters.
In June 2018, the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) determined that the SWMP and supporting documents meet the requirements of the small MS4. The SWMP will be updated as needed throughout the 5-year permit term. With the 2022 annual report now available, we welcome comments regarding the Stormwater Management Plan from the entire UNL community. Use the button below to send us your comments.
