Control of <br /> sediment on a construction,site prevents it from being transported by stormwater into the Town's <br /> stormwater system and ultimately into the Town's surface and groundwakers. This article proposes <br /> to amend the bylaw to comply more fully with the requirements of the Town's General Storm Water <br /> Permit issued by the Environmental Protection Agency through the National Pollutant Discharge <br /> Elimination System. <br /> The Board of Selectmen recommends approval of Article 28 by a vote of 5-0 <br /> The Finance Committee recommends approval of Article 28 by a vote of 6-0 <br /> 1 <br />
