Stormwater BMPs: Brought to You by State Revolving Fund Loans

This week the Advancing Communities blog takes you into the wonderful world of stormwater management using Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutants in runoff.

Vicki Putala, PE, one of our stormwater gurus gave the following presentation at a recent conference of Drain Commissioners, the elected officials in Michigan's more populous counties, who are responsible for planning, developing, and maintaining surface water drainage systems. Michigan's high density of waterways and low-lying areas throughout the state led to the creation of an elected position to handle drainage.

The presentation covers:

-What stormwater BMPs do to reduce pollutants
-Common types of stormwater BMPs
-Examples of stormwater management projects funded by State Revolving Fund loans
-Stormwater BMP maintenance considerations
-Advice about funding stormwater BMPs and tips to get you started.
