Georgia Tech Research Institute Offers Course on Storm Water Runoff

Jan. 23, 2006

The Georgia Tech Research Institute will offer a course on industrial storm water permitting and pollution prevention plan requirements, Managing Environmental Compliance, March 8-10, 2006 at the Global Learning and Conference Center on Georgia Tech’s campus in Atlanta, Ga.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) has made storm water runoff a national compliance priority for the upcoming years. Storm water runoff can become a major problem, as it can significantly affect water quality.

Storm water runoff can pick up chemicals, debris, pollutants and more as it flows to its final destination. These pollutants can initiate in storm water at hazardous waste sites, construction sites, outside of factories or gas stations and anywhere else that contaminants harmful to drinking water are spilled or disposed. Being non-compliant with storm water runoff can have serious impacts on human health and the environment.

Georgia Tech Research Institute’s upcoming course will help companies avoid costly fines for non-compliance and keep up-to-date on new and changing environmental regulations. It will also provide a networking opportunity for professionals involved in environmental compliance.
