Online Guide Provides Information on State Storm Water Requirements An innovative online resource that guides builders and developers through state storm water permitting requirements for the country’s 27 most active home building states and Washington, D.C. was launched last week by NAHB. “Find Your State’s Storm Water Permitting Requirements” is a practical tool for home builders and developers that provides instant access to state-specific information on the association’s Web site. Fact sheets for each state were provided by a gift from Centex Homes and they were prepared by Thompson & Knight, LLP in Dallas.
