Public Works Stormwater Summit

Do you have NPDES compliance issues? Do you know where to turn to solve these issues? Whether you are a Phase I or Phase II community, this Public Works Stormwater Summit is for you!

Stay on top of the latest NPDES news and other stormwater regulation compliance trends by attending this summit geared specifically to the interests and needs of public works and other municipal and county agencies grappling with the fact that stormwater management is more than just meeting EPA’s minimum control measures.

Regulators from the federal and state levels will give insight into enforcement actions occurring around the country and provide tips for staying clear of these issues.

Public Works Directors and Stormwater Managers will both benefit from a focused discussion of where your stormwater management program fits within your city or county’s organizational structure. Examine how other agencies are handling staffing issues, coordinating with other departments, and dealing with consultants.

Overall, you’ll be exposed to a diversity of ideas about strategies, practices, and technologies that are currently being deployed and any new trends on the horizon. Topics will include erosion control issues, enforcement of illicit discharges, good housekeeping practices for data collection and reporting requirements, public education, and best management practices to control run-off including green roofs, porous pavement, and bio-retention measures.

There will be plenty of time for comments and questions from Summit participants, plus the opportunity to share what’s working for you now, what you might do differently if you had the chance, and your concerns for the future.

PLUS – Attendees at this Summit will participate in Keynoter Doug McKinzie-Mohr’s thought-provoking presentation called: “Fostering Sustainable Behavior: Community-Based Social Marketing.”
