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 Tallahassee.

The conference will highlight key issues DEP and NWFWMD review for permitting and compliance of stormwater treatment systems to ensure proper design and functionality. Appropriate design and maintenance ensure 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 a review of stormwater regulations and thresholds, operating agreements between DEP and NWFWMD, design criteria, best management practices, compliance expectations and online resources. Professional development hours, approved by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers, will be awarded.
