A recent report on wastewater infrastructure graded the United States at a C-, citing concerns with the nation’s wet utilities. In fact, the average sanitary sewer or stormwater system has already surpassed its useful design life of 50 years. For sound public works management, evaluating the condition of these systems and planning for infrastructure improvements are essential.

STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS Permeable pavements are the way to go for stormwater best management practice solutions. These pavements can be used for both municipal stormwater management programs and private residential development applications. They reduce pavement ponding and local flooding by infiltrating stormwater on-site, providing a cost-effective solution. Moreover, they are perfect for developed areas with little open space and can reduce the need for additional expenditures and land use associated with conventional collection, conveyance, and stormwater management infrastructure. #StormwaterManagement #PermeablePavements #Sustainability #civilengineering, #sitedesign #stormwatermanagement #innovation #BMP #permeablepayments #frenchdrians, #construction #retention #solutions

We are grateful to all of the Biscayne Bay Marine Health Coalition members who urged the County’s Infrastructure, Operations, and Innovations Committee (CIOIC) to pass the Impervious Surface and Stormwater Ordinance. Your voices were heard as this vital ordinance passed the CIOIC unanimously! But it’s not over yet. The ordinance will now make its way to the full Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Background: Our system is currently not equipped to handle extreme rain events. We must improve the stormwater system design and maintenance standards for all municipalities, as we have all seen how poor design, insufficient maintenance and lack of oversight in the stormwater system has caused significant flooding and water quality issues entering our precious Biscayne Bay. The Impervious Surface and Stormwater Ordinance, sponsored by Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins, Esq., (and championed by our very own Chair, Dave Doebler and the BBMHC Steering Committee), includes dramatically improved stormwater system design and maintenance standards for all municipalities. Improved maintenance of stormwater infrastructure and management of our surface areas can help to reduce the volumes of water overwhelming the system, leading to flooding in neighborhoods and pollution in Biscayne Bay. As former Chief Bay Officer (and now again a Biscayne Bay Marine Health Coalition Steering Committee Member) said at the 2024 Summit, “After septic tanks, the biggest source of pollution is stormwater... stormwater, stormwater, stormwater.” Today, we celebrate that 5 Commissioners heard our community and voted yes on a piece of legislation that fulfills multiple recommendations from the Biscayne Bay Task Force Report, but we must continue to advocate for this vital legislation at the full BCC. Rule #1: Always Show Up Rule #2: Never Go Away
