LaPorte County MS4 Board September 24, 2026

The LaPorte County MS4 Board held a meeting on September 24, 2026, focusing on stormwater management and related procurement activities. Key procurement discussions included the ratification of a contract with Civil and Environmental Consultants (CEC) for engineering and hydrogeology services related to the Johnson Road gas station project, which was approved and funded through previously collected developer fees. The board also considered and approved a resolution to designate the MS4 Stormwater Management Director as the county's authorized representative for NPDES permit matters, with a provision for biennial review of this authority to ensure ongoing oversight. Additionally, the board approved a contract with Senator Dalton for consulting services related to stormwater and scoreboard projects, with a not-to-exceed amount of $5,000 for the year. These actions reflect the board's efforts to streamline operational approvals and ensure compliance with environmental standards while managing budgeted expenditures within the stormwater operating fund.
