Abstract
A Consultants Role in NPDES Stormwater Data Collection and Management for Municipalities
Track: Water Distribution, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Peter Mattejat, Mark Day
Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) has played an active role in supporting municipalities in the State of Maryland in achieving compliance of their stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). A major portion of the support involves collecting and inventorying of stormwater features, such as storm drains, stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs); but may also can involve assessing industrial activities impacting stormwater. More recently the support is extending to the transfer and management of the data to the municipal clients, whose needs vary from NPDES compliance to managing their drainage assets. The purpose of this paper is to outline the changing role of the consultant in both data collection and data management of the GIS that stores the data associated with NPDES. Several Esri packages have been central to this process including: ArcPAD, ArcGIS, ArcView 3.2a, and MapObjects LT. The role and benefit of each of these software packages relating to this project will be discussed.
