September 18, at the Great Hall in Faneuil Hall, Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Ian Bowles kicked off the public input
process for the development of the ocean plan. Secretary Bowles opened the
well-attended meeting by welcoming the audience and citing the importance of
the public process as EEA develops this first-in-the-nation comprehensive ocean
plan. This first public input meeting begins a series of 18 such meetings to be
held along the coast and inland through October. See EEA’s new </span></font><a

Plan website</a> for meeting dates and locations. In other ocean
management-related news, the Ocean Science Advisory Council met on September 5
in Boston. After a welcome from Secretary Bowles, the Council began its work
immediately by reviewing a proposed draft outline for the baseline assessment
of the ocean planning area (preparation of this baseline assessment is a
Council task mandated by the Oceans Act). The Council also started a
conversation regarding the big-picture questions that the ocean plan should
address by acknowledging the reality of environmental variability in an
ecosystem-based approach to management. For more information about this ocean
planning process, see the new EEA <a

<p class=CZ-MailParagraph><span class=CZ-MailItem><b><i><font size=2
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>EPA Issues New Multi-Sector General
Permit</span></font></i></b></span> - On September 29, EPA issued an updated
Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for Industrial Stormwater Discharges. This
permit provides rules and guidelines to a multitude of industrial facilities
regarding stormwater pollution prevention. Regulated facilities, which include
marinas, boatyards, yacht clubs, and other water transportation and ship/boat
building and repair facilities, are required to develop a stormwater pollution
prevention plan and install controls that meet established pollutant limits.
The new MSGP also requires periodic stormwater monitoring to ensure compliance
with performance standards and thresholds. The MSGP applies to facilities in
states and territories not authorized to implement EPA's National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, including Massachusetts. Under
the Clean Water Act, all facilities that discharge pollutants into U.S. waters
must obtain a NPDES permit. The new permit replaces the MSGP issued in 2000.
For permit details, see the <a href="http://www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/msgp"
target="_blank">EPA website</a>. In addition, on November 5 from noon to 2:00
p.m., EPA will host a webcast to explain the new permit requirements. Register
on the <a href="http://www.epa.gov/npdes/training">EPA NPDES Training web page</a>
two weeks before the webcast. For questions about MSGP compliance for marinas,
contact CZM’s Robin Lacey at <a
