Why all the fuss about stormwater now?
The City of Casper must comply with a new unfunded mandate concerning stormwater regulations from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. These regulations require the City of Casper to apply for a permit to discharge municipal stormwater into surface waters of the state (i.e. our creeks and river). In order for the City of Casper to comply with this permit the City must develop and implement six minimum measures to ensure that our stormwater is clean water. Clean water is not a matter of choice – it’s a matter of health, and now it’s the law.
