Polk County Water Atlas


The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requires each MS4 permittee to have a designated "Stormwater Management Program Contact" who is the technical person that oversees the stormwater program and is the primary contact for when the FDEP has questions about the annual report, is scheduling an annual inspection, or needs to discuss miscellaneous issues concerning implementation of the permit.
