- Current: NWI Partnership for Clean Water
The NWI Partnership for Clean Water (formerly known as the Northwest Indiana MS4 Community Partnership) was a NIRPC-managed public education and involvement program to help communities meet the Indiana Department of Environmental Management’s (IDEM) Rule 13 requirements. This rule is an effort by IDEM, as the state’s permitting authority, to manage stormwater. Consistent with other state water programs, this rule aims to protect human health, aquatic life, and existing water resources. For current Indiana MS4 information, visit www.indianams4.org
