Urban Stormwater and MS4 Compliance: Learn More from MS4 Implementation Experts

Has your community effectively addressed urban stormwater – a major impairment to water quality that continues to hamper efforts to comply with Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits? ICMA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are hosting a 90-minute webinar to explain common problems that inspectors encounter, along with examples of how operators have overcome them.

We will discuss:

•           Compliance challenges and applying adaptive management as your system progresses from one permit cycle to the next

•           Effective finance and regional coordination approaches with examples from Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Shenandoah Valley, Virginia

•           New tools being used for assessing overall program costs and a new approach for evaluating future capacity needs

•           A preview of a stormwater financing guide for MS4s and key lessons learned from small to medium-sized Phase II MS4’s

•           Elements of an effective Pollution Prevention (P2) and “Good Housekeeping” program with a multi-divisional approach to implementation

Speakers:

•           Andrew Dinsmore, US EPA Stormwater Team leader

•           Joanne Throwe, Director of University of Maryland Environmental Finance Center

•           Mark Heidecker, MS4 Coordinator at the City of Tallahassee

Audience: Officials who manage MS4s and those who direct work on planning, finance, regulatory compliance, infrastructure building and maintenance, public works, and transportation.
