Strategies that have worked for other Phase II communities!



This 2-hour program is for you if you are challenged by:
  • lack of funding

  • the politics of intergovernmental agreements

  • getting the public to understand how your storm water plan will affect them.




    • Our speakers are experienced experts in storm water funding options and plan development who will give you real-world solutions for NPDES Phase II implementation. We’ll have examples covering:


  • successful funding options – including how to set up a storm water utility

  • cross-jurisdictional and interagency agreements

  • public education and outreach




    • Take advantage of this great opportunity to learn from the experiences of other small cities and counties!
