Experts Learn About Local Stormwater Issues
August 29, 2014
Stormwater is a hot issue in Northwest Florida after the April 30 flood that did millions in damage in the local area.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Northwest District and the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD) held the Northwest Florida Stormwater Conference Thursday in Pensacola for local governments, engineers, consultants, architects and other experts.
The conference was designed to highlight some of the key issues DEP and NWFWMD review for permitting and compliance of stormwater treatment systems to ensure proper design and functionality. Appropriate stormwater treatment system design and maintenance ensures that development activities will not cause violations of water quality standards in receiving waters or adverse impacts to on-site and off-site property.
The conference also provided information on stormwater regulations and thresholds, operating agreements between DEP and NWFWMD, design criteria and best management practices, compliance, and online permitting tools.
