Program Overview

This is a bundle of StormwaterONE online courses regarding the Six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) for Phase II Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) operators.

Operators of regulated small MS4s are required to design their programs to: reduce the discharge of pollutants to the “maximum extent practicable” (MEP), protect water quality, and satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act.

The implementation of these six elements and associated Best Management Practices (BMPs) are expected to result in significant reduction of pollutants discharged into receiving waterbodies.

Curriculum Includes:

1) Public Education and Outreach
Distributing educational materials and performing outreach to inform citizens about the impacts polluted stormwater runoff discharges can have on water quality.

2) Public Participation/Involvement
Providing opportunities for citizens to participate in program development and implementation, including effectively publicizing public hearings and/or encouraging citizen representatives on a stormwater management panel.

3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Developing and implementing a plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the storm sewer system (includes developing a system map and informing the community about hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste).

4) Construction Site Runoff Control
Developing, implementing, and enforcing an erosion and sediment control program for construction activities that disturb 1 or more acres of land (controls could include silt fences and temporary stormwater detention ponds).

5) Post-Construction Runoff Control
Developing, implementing, and enforcing a program to address discharges of post-construction stormwater runoff from new development and redevelopment areas. Applicable controls could include preventative actions such as protecting sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands) or the use of structural BMPs such as grassed swales or porous pavement.

6) Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
Developing and implementing a program with the goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. The program must include municipal staff training on pollution prevention measures and techniques (e.g., regular street sweeping, reduction in the use of pesticides or street salt, or frequent catch-basin cleaning).

Program Overview

This 9-hour computer based training series is intended to serve as adjunctive training for individuals who have attended a state specific permit training program and are seeking a more comprehensive understanding of the Principles and Practices of Erosion Control, Sediment Control, and Pollution Prevention.

Program Overview

StormwaterONE’s online Low Impact Development (LID) for Stormwater Management course is designed to educate students on Low Impact Development (LID) practices and concepts. The goals, tools, costs, methods, as well as Best Management Practices (BMPs), implementation and maintenance of LID for stormwater management will be covered.

This course is designed to educate students on a variety of LID practices and systems that mimic or preserve natural drainage processes to result in the infiltration, evapotranspiration or use of stormwater in order to protect water quality and associated aquatic habitat.

LID is an ecologically friendly approach to site development and stormwater management that aims to mitigate development impacts to land and water.

The goal of any construction project is to design a hydrologically functional site that mimics predevelopment conditions. This is achieved by using design techniques that infiltrate, filter, evaporate, and store runoff close to its source. Rather than rely on costly large-scale conveyance and treatment systems, LID addresses stormwater through a variety of small, cost-effective landscape features located on-site. 

Low Impact Development relates directly to construction because it is very easy to ruin the post-construction function of a LID BMP during the construction process.

Low Impact Development focuses more on providing GREENER stormwater infrastructure as well as the following:

• Maintaining and restoring natural hydrology,
• Protecting natural resources,
• Fulfilling environmental regulations,
• Using science, plants and healthy soil, and
• Maintaining and restoring the natural hydrology.

The LID approach emphasizes the integration of site design and planning techniques that conserve the natural systems and hydrologic functions of a site. With urbanization and development, more impervious surface pavement and asphalt is added. This increases the volume of stormwater. When that is not managed properly, drainage systems are stressed.

Program Overview

Low Impact Development (LID) embodies a paradigm shift in how land is developed and how storm water is managed from that development. LID is achieved through the implementation of techniques that mimic pre-development hydrologic conditions by addressing storm water runoff at the source point versus the “end of the pipe.” The bioretention system, which reduces runoff volumes while decreasing pollutant loads found in nonpoint source flow, represents one of the most commonly applied Low Impact Development devices in green infrastructure today. This webinar will introduce the basics of bioretention systems, how they work, why they work and how they can save on project costs.

Additional topics will include how to implement sediment removal practices as well key elements of conducting an inspection of erosion and sediment control features.

Program Overview

Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) has positioned itself as a solution for many issues facing urban environments, not just stormwater.Because of this, there is a lot of hype around the US among municipalities, engineers, and urban planners to name a few. This presentation will go over the basics of urban hydrology, the history of how we got here, and modern issues that GSI can address. We will review GSI solutions and lessons learned. Drawing from my experience on the ground with pilot projects in New York City and Philadelphia, I will share my thoughts and recommendations moving forward.
