Overview

StormwaterONE’s online course for Public Education, Outreach and Involvement for MS4s is designed to cover some of the key components necessary for a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) to adhere to the first two of the six (6) Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) that an operator of an MS4 is required to include in its Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). These control measures are required to meet the conditions of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

This course will cover the requirements, BMPs and Measurable Goals to be developed and implemented for the first Minimum Control Measure which is Public Education and Outreach and the second Minimum Control Measure which is Public Participation and Involvement.

An informed and knowledgeable community is crucial to the success of a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) since it helps to ensure the following:

Greater support for the program as the public gains a greater understanding of the reasons why it is necessary and important. Public support is particularly beneficial when operators of MS4s attempt to institute new funding initiatives for the program or seek volunteers to help implement the program; and
Greater compliance with the program as the public becomes aware of the personal responsibilities expected of them and others in the community. This includes the individual actions they can take to protect or improve the quality of area waters.

As authorized by the Clean Water Act (CWA), the NPDES permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. The NPDES program has Phase I and Phase II rulings and control measures. This course also provides a history of the NPDES program as well as an introduction to the MS4 Program for Phase I and Phase II entities.

Guidelines for developing and implementing these control measures are covered in addition to the reasons why public education and outreach as well as public participation and involvement are required. Educational materials, strategies, forming partnerships, reaching diverse audiences and communities are discussed. Implementation challenges are reviewed including alternative advertising methods and targeting population sectors.

Detailed BMPs and specific and quantifiable Measurable Goal examples for each of these BMPs are provided that can be directly used in a Phase I and Phase II Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP).

This course also provides MS4 recordkeeping and annual reporting guidelines as well as a sample Annual Report and additional resources.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the completion of this course, the student will be provided the resources necessary to explain and administratively establish the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) for Minimum Control Measure #1: Public Education and Outreach and Minimum Control Measure #2: Public Participation and Involvement.

The student will be able to:

-- Define fundamental public education, outreach and involvement terms, definitions, and key elements that a Phase II regulated small MS4 is required to include in its Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) to meet the conditions of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

-- Educate MS4 Phase II communities on the pollution potential of common activities and increase awareness of direct links between land activities, rainfall runoff, storm drains and their local water resources.

-- Identify and select BMPs with examples provided for the first Minimum Control Measure which is Public Education and Outreach and the second Minimum Control Measure which is Public Participation and Involvement.

-- Create appropriate measurable goals with specific examples provided for the SWMP and the Annual Report that are required to be submitted to the NPDES permitting authority.

The StormwaterONE program is excellent! Training is provided in multiple ways to ensure all learning styles are accommodated. The content is relevant and of high quality. Delivery of content is nothing short of superior irrespective of being self-paced training or delivered by one of the many experienced instructors. I have personally taken, and will recommend, training from StormwaterONE to become educated in the trade. You will become skilled in the requirements of Stormwater management.
