Storm Water Best Management Practice Inspection and MaintenanceStorm Water Best Management Practice Inspection and Maintenance

Storm water management has long been a consideration of developers, municipalities and governments. Regulations and laws have been in effect in various forms governing the flow rate, flooding and erosive potential of storm water discharges for many years, however, the ultimate discharge of storm water was only rarely monitored or regulated for total volume or quality. Changes by the federal government over the past several years have now created a statutory need for both public and private owners to permanently manage the post construction storm water discharge from their location. This live webinar helps the personnel ultimately responsible for designing for, permitting or building a location meet these new requirements. An overall timeline of how the regulations came to exist and the origin of many storm water best management practices will be discussed. This foundation will be used to discuss the importance of BMP inspection, maintenance and access. Example projects will be used as a tool for illustrating the concepts of the conventional and alternative or green-infrastructure based techniques discussed. The live webinar will finish with a session on how to develop a storm water pollution prevention plan for your project or location that is reasonable, sustainable and enforceable.
