While stormwater might seem like a small part of the larger environmental picture, its impact is far-reaching. How we manage, protect, treat, and discharge stormwater plays a crucial role in safeguarding and restoring our environment, building economic opportunity, protecting human health, and mitigating risk.
Whether you're a municipality striving to keep stormwater clean, a construction site managing erosion and sediment control, an industrial facility improving housekeeping practices to meet stormwater sampling goals, or simply someone passionate about environmental protection, we invite you to join us for the 2nd Annual Stormwater Awareness Week, October 6-11 2025.
