2023 Class Schedule:

1. Hydrology; 02-01-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course.

2. SMPs; 02-22-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course.

From dry detention to tree plantings, the NYS Stormwater Design Manual outlines the numerous possibilities for selecting practices to meet the permit requirements for peak flow mitigation, water quality treatment and runoff reduction. This class will review the characteristics and performance of each of these practices and will provide an overview of the many considerations that must be made to choose the most appropriate ones for site specific needs. Practice sizing, construction and maintenance of each practice will also be covered.

3. SWPPP Preparation and Review; 03-15-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course.

Preparing, reviewing, and implementing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is essential to stormwater management for both the public and private sectors. The SWPPP is a key component of the Construction General Permit and of Minimum Control Measures 4, 5, and 6 of the MS4 General Stormwater Permit. In the new draft MS4 permit, municipalities are required to prepare SWPPP’s for their own facilities. This class will review all of the required elements of partial and full SWPPP’s, including site planning, E & SC, hydrology, good housekeeping, post construction management and maintenance. Preparation and review checklists will be provided and examined.

4. MS4 Permit Updates; 04-05-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course.

From education, to administration, to inspection, municipalities designated by the state as Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4’s) have numerous responsibilities. In many instances, these municipalities must rely on their consulting or staff engineers to meet the technical components of these obligations. This class, presented jointly withNYSDEC, and Andy Sansone of the Monroe County Department of Environmental Services, will provide guidance for municipal officials, and engineers assisting municipalities in complying with the six minimum measures of the MS4 permit.

Specific discussion topics will include:

Storm sewer shed and outfall mapping

Illicit Discharge Detection

Preparation of the Stormwater Management Program Plan

Construction Site inspections

SWPPP review

TMDL/303d requirements

Maintenance programs and agreements

Good housekeeping

Preparation of Annual Reports

Retrofit programs

SWMP and SWPPP preparation for municipal facilities

Recently, DEC has released the new DRAFT MS4 General Permit which will eventually be finalized for a new five year term.The new permit clarifies and simplifies the existing permit while introducing new compliance challenges and obligations. The draft permit modifications and their impact to MS4’s will be covered in detail.

5. Stormwater Management Design Manual Updates ; 04-26-2023 ~ 4.0 PDH available for this course.
