ECOSS offers practical training and solutions for municipalities facing ever-increasing regulatory requirements.
Municipal Stormwater Education
These courses are designed for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) staff and other personnel who directly and indirectly influence a city’s stormwater program success.
- Stormwater experts deliver innovative and professional classes ranging from two hours to two days, depending on the topic
- Classes provide a foundation of content developed with input from a Steering Committee represented by 15 cities and counties, small to large, across Washington state
- The base content serves as a platform for each municipality to add their own jurisdiction-specific approach to each subject area
Prepare Municipal Staff to:
- Meet NPDES educational permit requirements for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and other staff
- Discuss practical applications and operational considerations of stormwater management from multiple viewpoints
- Diversify existing knowledge, skills and abilities of staff
- Enhance municipal stormwater programs with improved communication and understanding of stormwater issues across all departments
