Two Rivers Storm Water Project

In October of 2006, the City of Two Rivers received its NR 216 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR).  This MS4 Permit requires the City of Two Rivers to develop a municipal storm water program that manages urban non-point source pollution and protects natural resource features such as the West Twin River, East Twin River, Lake Michigan and other environmentally sensitive areas.

The purpose of this page is to make available virtually all project materials to the project members and the general public.   To conserve resources the format of the page has been kept "bare bones".  Links to graphics rich storm water web sites are provided below.

Some pages on this site use files in the Adobe PDF file format. If you do not have the Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download a free copy from Adobe's website.

If you need a free viewer for Microsoft Office products like Word, Access, Excel or PowerPoint Click here.

The materials provided on this page are organized into three major sections.
    (1) Documents directly controlling the project,
    (2) Ordinances and public education and outreach materials, and,
    (3) Other Regulations, Statutes, and related web site links.
