CV 510 - Storm Water Management Systems Design

• Understand the federal, state, and local regulations that govern developments
• Access the local, state, and federal resources that facilitate storm water management systems design
• Design conventional urban storm water facilities (e.g., storm inlets, storm sewers, outfalls)
• Design permanent best management practices to control flow and protect water quality
• Design construction site erosion control practices to protect water quality
• Develop storm water management and construction site erosion control plans
• Layout a storm water management system to achieve regulatory compliance and maximize sustainability
• Determine water quality impacts of development activities through modeling (e.g.. SLAMM)
