On June 6, 2000, a day-long Stormwater Permits Seminar will be presented. The seminar will be conducted in conjunction with the Office of Continuing Professional Education, Cook College, Rutgers University and will be held on the Cook College Campus, New Brunswick.

This seminar is important to municipalities, the business community and other parties interested in the requirements of the Statewide Stormwater Permitting Program. Presentations given by Division of Water Quality personnel from the Bureau of Nonpoint Pollution Control will include the general requirements and provide an in-depth explanation of how to prepare and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. A presentation by a facility representative who has "hands-on-experience" is also planned. In addition, an overview of the recently adopted EPA rules for Phase II- Municipal Stormwater Permitting, will be covered. These rules may affect the majority of New Jersey's municipalities and counties; most state and regional transportation entities; most large public colleges, prisons and hospitals; as well as private and public construction activities disturbing one or more acres.

• What are permit the requirements?

• Who is regulated?

• What are source materials?

• How are permits enforced?

• Future direction and the timetable for Phase II rules.

As a special feature, companies with products and services related to stormwater management will have the latest technology on exhibit. In the past, products related to erosion control, stormwater management, stormwater monitoring, oil and sediment removal, and safety at drainage facilities, among others, have been highlighted.

Facilities with a general or individual stormwater permit and other interested parties will be receiving a mailing with registration materials from Cook College. If you do not receive a mailing, please call the Office of Continuing Professional Education at (908) 932-9271 to request program materials.
