Residential stormwater management issues are handled at the local level. You may want to contact your local authorities for information on local regulations and to ask if assistance is available. Some local authorities also handle stormwater-related complaints.
Information about stormwater management can be found on EPA’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Web site.
