Are Consumers Buying Smart Growth? Let NAHB Know

2006 Storm Water Permitting Guide Available

The 2006 edition of “Storm Water Permitting: A Guide for Builders and Developers” is now available at the BuilderBooks.com.

The new edition is designed to help builders and developers get through the inspection process with confidence, especially now that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made storm water permits an enforcement priority.

The 2006 edition includes a CD-Rom with state-specific permits, forms and guidance and is available for $49.95 ($64.95 for non-members).

Builders and developers in Oregon and South Dakota can purchase the guide — without the CD — for half price because those state’s regulations have not changed since the last printing and the guide is all they would need.

To order the guide online, click here, or call 800-223-2665.
