Stormwater runoff and illicit sewage and pollutant dumps in drainways, creeks, streams and lakes is often difficult to locate, and once found often challenge to provide a precise location, and identify and describe the pollutant and then report the incident to the proper city, county, state or federal environmental authorities for enforcement. SectorNow, LLC will demonstrate how a portable stormwater management tool can be used to document illicit solid and liquid sewage discharges in storm drains, outfalls, drainways, streams and lakes, using GIS and GPS to accurately identify and record incident location coordinates, with pictures. Easy to use drop-down menus, and help screens help inspectors to accurately identify incident pollutants, weather conditions, and other pertinent information, and report incidents to the responsible jurisdiction for action.
