 GIS Weathers the New Stormwater Regulations Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Kevin Zelinsky, Mary Johnson As part of a nationwide update mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency, local Departments of Environmental Protection are developing municipal stormwater regulation programs to address groundwater pollution issues in each state. The proposed changes will likely impact municipalities, public complexes (such as large public colleges), and highway systems (such as those operated by regional transportation authorities) for years to come. The implementation schedules, detailed documentation, public education materials, and multiple mapping products needed for compliance with the new guidelines may seem daunting at first but provide an ideal application for GIS technology. Municipalities and public works organizations nationwide can organize, analyze, manage, and maintain their stormwater data more efficiently by implementing a GIS. This paper will explore all aspects of dealing with the stormwater regulation changes from building an accurate digital base map foundation to creating a complete data management system.
