MEDIA ADVISORY: July 21, 2014
DEP TO
HOST STORMWATER CONFERENCE IN NORTHWEST FLORIDA
~Stormwater permitting, compliance and Best Management Practices focus of conference ~
PENSACOLA – The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection's Northwest District and the Northwest Florida Water
Management District (NWFWMD) invite local governments, engineers, consultants,
architects and other interested parties to attend a Stormwater Conference in
Pensacola on August 28.
The conference is designed to highlight
some of the key issues DEP and NWFWMD review for permitting and compliance of
stormwater treatment systems to ensure proper design and functionality. Appropriate stormwater treatment system design and maintenance
ensures that development activities will not cause violations of water quality
standards in receiving waters or adverse impacts to on-site and
off-site property. Learning how to avoid these impacts will reduce the
potential for future compliance issues.
The conference agenda will include
stormwater regulation and thresholds, operating agreements between DEP and
NWFWMD, design criteria and Best Management Practices, compliance, and online
permitting tools. Professional development hours, approved by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers, will be awarded.
