In times of heavy precipitation from rainfall or snowmelt, stormwater runoff accumulates debris, chemicals, sediment, and other pollutants before being discharged into local waterbodies. While many local governments lack the financial and technical resources necessary to address these issues, the resulting noncompliance with regulations can further increase the burden on these communities.

In this FREE webinar you’ll learn about developing, financing, and maintaining stormwater management systems, why these systems are an important component of a sustainable community, and how to remain in compliance with federal regulations.

Specifically, you and your staff will learn:

  • How to finance and implement leading practices that reduce polluted stormwater from entering a community’s creeks, rivers, and other waterways.
  • How to prevent frequent stormwater/MS4 violations and avoid costly remedial expenses by complying with federal regulations.
  • Why stormwater management is closely linked to achieving community sustainability goals.
  • How to effectively engage and educate citizens and businesses to participate in stormwater management programs.
  • A variety of resources.
