FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov. 6, 2014
STORMWATER CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD IN PANAMA CITY
~Conference to focus on stormwater permitting, compliance and best management practices~
PANAMA CITY – 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 Panama City on Nov. 14.
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. 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. Florida-registered engineers who attend the conference
will earn up to four professional development hour credits.
Registration for the
conference is now open. To register online, click here.
