	GVRD - Sewerage - Sources - Stormwater
		Stormwater is the term used to describe the rainfall and other sources of water that are generated by urban runoff from areas such as streets, parking lots and roof drains on houses and other buildings.
		Stormwater management is a topic that includes drainage but also looks at the complex relationships between the environment, the pollutants that runoff can collect, and urbanization.
		Stormwater impacts on the environment and their management are heavily influenced by land-use decisions and community and environmental objectives.

	Stormwater (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Stormwater management programs should be developed on a watershed basis and need to consider watershed and receiving stream conditions as well as goals and targets for the overall watershed.
		Stormwater management should be conducted at the watershed level since all residents of a watershed, both rural and urban, contribute to watershed health and can control its future.
		Stormwater management plans should be developed on a watershed basis to identify specific targets to be met, including both water quantity and quality.

	Stormwater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stormwater is a term used to describe water that originates during precipitation events.
		Stormwater that does not soak into the ground becomes surface runoff, which either flows into surface waterways or is channeled into storm sewers.
		Stormwater is of concern for two main issues - one related to the volume and timing of runoff water (flood control and water supplies) and the other related to potential contaminants that the water is carrying (water pollution).

	City of Ringgold - Stormwater
		Proper stormwater management is needed to help reduce the amount of nonpoint source pollution that enters our local waters, especially if we are to keep them safe for fishing, and swimming.
		The issue of stormwater management affects us all.The goals of the Ringgold stormwater program are to control street flooding, reduce the discharge of harmful pollutants associated with stormwater runoff, and to protect the water quality of our streams and rivers.
		Stormwater must be properly managed if we are to continue to grow in a manner that also accommodates protection of our water resources, which have been the lifeblood of our county since its founding.

	Stormwater \| Advances in Porous Pavement
		Stormwater, particularly urban runoff and snowmelt, is the wastewater of the 21st century, according to John Sansalone, associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge.
		Researchers at the EPA and the University of Connecticut conducted a sub-study during 2002 and 2003 to monitor runoff quantities and pollutants from driveways paved with asphalt, crushed stone, and Eco-Stone permeable pavement.
		However, if costs not spent on other stormwater controls are factored in (such as the cost of land used for a detention pond), total cost per project tends to equal out or be lower for permeable pavers.

	DeKalb County Stormwater Management
		Stormwater utility fees were identified as an reasonable and effective funding mechanism to address stormwater problems.

		46% of all impaired rivers and lakes in the U.S. are polluted due to uncontrolled stormwater runoff.
		MEP - “Maximum Extent Practicable” - Stormwater permits require that the discharge of pollutants into storm drains be reduced to the “maximum extent practicable”.
		Unlike stormwater pollution, “point source pollution” can be easily attributed to a single source, such as a catastrophic leak from a storage tank.

	Water pollution control by Stormwater Systems
		While stormwater quality-improvement devices were available, they were very expensive both to buy and maintain.
		We clean and maintain most types and brands of stormwater pollution traps (gross pollutant traps), at-source litter baskets, in-pipe, end-of-pipe, booms and other devices, as well as cleaning open waterways such as harbours and lakes, observing the highest levels of workplace safety and environmental care.
		Stormwater Systems has installed many booms and detention systems and can advise the right one for any situation or location.

	Clayton County Water Authority Stormwater Management Information
		While stormwater utilities are popping up all over Metro Atlanta, Clayton County is one of the first jurisdictions to have a unified utility that includes unincorporated areas and local cities.
		The creation of a new stormwater utility is needed for Clayton County to meet stricter federal and state water quality standards, which become harder to meet as our county continues to grow.
		The Clayton County Stormwater Utility is the fairest way to provide a dedicated funding source for countywide stormwater management.

	Sediment and Stormwater (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The stormwater runoff is subsequently discharged to downstream waters such as streams, reservoirs, lakes or estuaries.
		Stormwater management practices help control nonpoint source pollution through the use of nonstructural and/or structural techniques to intercept surface runoff from developed areas, filter and treat this runoff, and then discharge it at a controlled rate.
		The overriding condition that governs the quantity of stormwater runoff is the amount of impervious surfaces located on your property (driveways, roofs, carports, sidewalks, etc.) Stormwater quality, however, is governed by the accumulation of pollutants on the entire surface area, regardless of whether it is grassed or paved.

	ADEQ: Permits: Stormwater
		EPA continues to be the permitting authority for all regulated stormwater discharges on Indian Lands.
