Stormwater Assistance

​ WIB's Stormwater Team provides assistance for regulated and unregulated stormwater sites in the Potomac Basin. The team researches information about stormwater in order to provide the best available techniques as they relate to the requirements of their permit and provides guidance for others who want to manage their stormwater and learn more about low impact development (LID) and green infrastructure. The team also tracks and reports BMP data to WVDEP's Stormwater Program and the Chesapeake Bay Program as needed.

An important component for successful implementation of the appropriate stormwater and green infrastructure practices is coordinatoin with WVDEP's Office of Environmental Enforcement, Stormwater Program, Nonpoint Source Program, other state and federal agencies, as well as local county and city officials.
