Do you own business property in Bellingham, Franklin or Milford?
Do it have at least two acres of impervious surface?
What is impervious surface?
Impervious means that the water can not penetrate to seep through the surface. Concrete or asphalt are common impervious surfaces. Building roof tops also count in the calculation.
If you have not yet attended one of the information sessions on the new regulations the EPA is proposing for pilot in these three communities, you should.
There is one more Thursday, August 26 at 10 AM in the Physician's Conference Room at the Milford Regional Medical Center, located at 14 Prospect St., Milford.
Free parking is available at the Cancer Center, directly across the street from the Hospital, on Prospect Street.
The presentation used at a prior information session can be viewed here:
