Industry Leaders Work with StormwaterAuthority to Improve Water Quality

StormwaterAuthority, LLC announced the formation of an editorial and expert advisors committee, comprised of industry leaders and professionals throughout the United States to help guide the content of the national website, www.StormwaterAuthority.org.

StormwaterAuthority recently launched its website, a multi-partnered website designed to assist both the private and public sectors in making informed decisions about stormwater treatment and management. Since the launch, the site has provided access to a variety of tools and expert guidance, including “Ask the Expert,” where questions and answers are submitted through the site.

“Many professionals throughout the country are facing stormwater issues, from understanding regulations and available best management practices, to site design and cost management,” said Lisa Begin, manager of StomwaterAuthority’s website. “The editorial and expert advisors committee is here to help answer those questions as well as provide insight and fresh ideas to the ongoing development.”

The committee is comprised of leaders in both the public and private sectors, including engineering firms, government agencies and watershed organizations across the United States.

“As a registered professional engineer, I rely upon proven techniques so that a project's design can be implemented effectively and efficiently,” said Charlene Johnston, project manager for Weston & Sampson Engineers in Massachusetts. “At the same time, I am obligated to consider the public's health, safety, and welfare, which includes its environment. My goal is to assist StormwaterAuthority as it educates stormwater professionals and land developers in the latest stormwater practices.”

“The StormwaterAuthority serves as a central locale for various entities to access information in the field of stormwater management. It is an invaluable tool in obtaining the most current and innovative information.” said Larry Weidmann, president of Watermann Water Quality, Inc. “Owning a company committed to stormwater treatment, I am encouraged by the work of the StormwaterAuthority in their relentless efforts to improve water quality around the country.”
