The New MS4 Permit – February 27

After nearly six years, the new MS4 General Permit has been finalized for a five-year term. The new permit clarifies and simplifies some elements of the existing permit while introducing new compliance challenges and obligations. Each of the six minimum measure requirements will be reviewed, emphasizing the significant modifications in the new permit pertaining to prioritizing, reporting, mapping, and developing municipal facility SWPPP’s. NYSDEC personnel will participate in this class and will be available to answer questions.

-

Stormwater Hydrology & the New Design Manual – March 19

Predicting the volume and rate of runoff from rain events is an essential skill for stormwater engineers. This class will examine in detail all the factors that influence runoff: precipitation, soils, ground cover, drainage area, and time of concentration. The techniques and standards that are outlined in the latest version of the Design Manual for computing runoff rates and volumes will be reviewed. Determining detention storage volumes and modeling of reservoirs, outlet structures, and solar farms will also be addressed, along with hydrology modeling techniques to address climate change.

-

Post Construction Stormwater Management Practices & the New Design Manual – April 9

From dry detention to tree plantings, the updated 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 practices for site specific needs. Sizing, construction and maintenance of each practice will also be covered.

-

SWPPP Preparation and Review – April 30

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, the Multi Sector General Permit, and of Minimum Control Measures 4, 5, and 6 of the MS4 General Permit. This class will review all of the required elements of partial and full SWPPP’s, including site planning, erosion and sedimentation, hydrology, good housekeeping, and post-construction management and maintenance. Updates to the Design Manual will be incorporated in the review. Preparation of Municipal Facility SWPPP’s, a new requirement of MCM 6 of the MS4 permit, will also be covered.

-

MS4 Program: Strategies for Success – May 14

As a follow-up to the February class we will go deeper into the MS4 permit requirements and focus on key areas of program development. Primary topics will include Illicit Discharge detection and track down programs, Best Management Practices for Municipal Facilities and Developing Municipal Facilities and Operations Programs. The use of GIS mapping tools will be highlighted throughout as well as discussions for developing Staffing and Enforcement Response Plans. Andy Sansone, Monroe County Stormwater Coordinator will be the lead presenter along with John Dunkle and Christiana Chaippeta from NYSDEC
