Overview

Filled with tables, checklists, worksheets, and sample plans, Storm Water Discharges is a unique, nontechnical guide to the full spectrum of storm water issues. Written in a language accessible to everyone, this guide offers a practical, nuts-and-bolts approach to compliance with EPA's complex storm water discharge requirements.

Editorial Reviews

Dennison uses his skills as an environmental attorney to illuminate rather than further muddy the legal language surrounding the regulation of storm water discharges. The guide explains the essential regulatory issues, compliance, and its application to everyday business operations. Technology and prevention are reviewed with case examples of facilities and activities which eliminate or reduce potential contamination. The volume contains useful summary tables, checklists, and a sample prevention plan. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
