Iowa Industrial Stormwater Management Annual Training
This half-day training covers the regulatory requirements, compliance strategies, and emerging issues that matter most to facilities operating under Iowa’s industrial stormwater permits.
Iowa’s General Permits No. 1 and No. 3 require facilities to train employees on stormwater pollution prevention at regular intervals. This training is one way to help meet that annual requirement, while keeping your team current on regulatory changes, inspection expectations, and new challenges in industrial stormwater management.
The morning moves from permit fundamentals and SWPPP development through sampling protocols, site inspections, and emerging contaminant monitoring. Presenters from Iowa DNR and Stanley Consultants share real-world observations from the field, including a case study on monitoring and treatment approaches for PFAS and microplastics.
What You’ll Learn
- Identify key requirements of Iowa General Permits No. 1 and No. 3 for industrial stormwater discharges
- Develop, review, and update a SWPPP that meets current permit standards
- Apply correct sampling and monitoring procedures
- Recognize emerging contaminants and understand how future monitoring requirements may affect your facility
- Conduct and document site inspections that meet permit requirements
Who Should Attend
This training is designed for anyone responsible for industrial stormwater compliance at their facility, including environmental compliance staff, facility and operations managers, stormwater coordinators, and personnel who conduct inspections or manage SWPPPs. MS4 city staff who oversee industrial discharges to their systems will also benefit.
