Dayton, OH – The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) maintains the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan (AWQMP) which guides planning across five counties (Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery and Preble) for the protection of water resources including management of non-point source pollution and wastewater treatment. The proposed amendment to the AWQMP includes updates to policy and changes to the Facility Planning Area (FPA) boundary in one location.
The AWQMP delineates Facility Planning Areas (FPA), which are locations where sanitary sewers are or may be provided. MVRPC staff have worked with the City of Greenville (Darke County) on a proposed amendment to the boundary of the Greenville FPA area. This update will clean up the FPA boundary to include areas that the city of Greenville is already serving with sanitary sewer. It will not impact any other FPA boundaries.
Separate from the Greenville-specific update, and beginning in early 2026, MVRPC staff have been facilitating a working group of wastewater Designated Management Agencies (DMA) in a review of the MVRPC Facility Planning Policies, which were adopted in September 2005. The working group identified policy updates and language changes to reflect current practice, and the proposed updates to the policies are provided for public review and comment.
The virtual meeting will take place via Zoom, a video conferencing platform, and will be held as follows: Tuesday, October 27, 2026 – 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
