As expectation grows for the AEC industry to be more eco-friendly while satisfying government regulations, developers are now considering infiltration as part of their stormwater system. Stormwater Infiltration is currently part of a sub divisional ordinance in Pennsylvania which requires developers to explain why they are using traditional retention bases opposed to stormwater infiltration.

It’s really easy to drown in the alphabet soup of stormwater management regulations. I spend a lot of my day knee deep in water projects, and I still get confused. If you are a town manager, elected official or concerned citizen, I can only imagine how difficult it is to understand the regulations from the EPA on NPDES and MS4. If you aren’t sure what I mean, never fear. Autodesk and DLT Solutions are releasing a new guidebook called “MS4 for Dummies”. This easy to read text will help you understand how to manage your municipal separate storm sewer system (or MS4) to meet the ever increasing regulations handed down by the Environmental Protection Agency as part of the Clean Water Act.
