About the Award
The National Municipal Stormwater and Green Infrastructure Awards program was established to recognize high-performing regulated MS4s. Award winners meet and exceed regulatory requirements in innovative ways that are effective and cost-efficient.
Submissions undergo an expert committee review and selection process. Each applicant is designated a Bronze, Silver, or Gold community within the categories of both program management and innovation. To view all of the designations, as well as additional past award recipient information, visit the WEF Stormwater Institute website.
High-performers in program management and innovation will be recognized in October 2021. The Phase I and Phase II communities with the overall highest score will be honored as the formal winners of the 2021 National Municipal Stormwater and Green Infrastructure Awards at WEFTEC 2021.
