Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs)

The NPDES Municipal Permit (Order No. R9-2009-0002) for South Orange County requires the County and cities (Permittees) to adopt local Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP) and Local Standard Stormwater Mitigation Plans (SSMP). The Local SSMP will be used as a guide for review and approval of Water Quality Management Plans (WQMPs) for New Development and Significant Redevelopment projects. This workshop is educational in nature and seeks to provide information on applicability of LID BMP techniques in site design, the efficacy of onsite storm water capture and treatment, regulations triggering stormwater BMP incorporation, systems in place in the watershed, and lessons learned/appropriate selection of BMPs. Please see attached agenda for further details. ...

We wish to target municipal engineers and planners, and owners and managers of properties with large hardscape areas, including corporate headquarters, corporate distribution centers, shopping malls, apartment complexes, and institutions.

Please RSVP by Monday, April 25, 2011 to confirm your space in this workshop. RSVP to: Andrea.Toscano@ocpw.ocgov.com or 714.955.0600
