How to overcome stormwater regulations challenges with Rob Woodman

🌧️ Stormwater regulations are constantly evolving, and staying ahead of the curve is no small task. Ferguson recently released a podcast diving into the latest changes and challenges in stormwater management. For anyone working in design, construction, or compliance, it’s definitely worth a listen. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dgmD2euz Have you tuned in yet?

Let’s look back in the archives of the Stormwater World Podcast and enjoy Episode 37: Lets Talk About Your SWPPP with Kristin Holland, PE, CPESC from CoyleSWPPP. In this episode of the Stormwater World® Podcast, host Ty Garmon speaks with Kristin Holland, owner and VP of Coyle SWPPP Professionals, to discuss the critical yet often overlooked role of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) in construction projects. Kristin highlights common challenges such as late-stage planning, incorrect BMP installations, and the need for better communication among contractors. She shares insights from notable projects, like the Brent Spence Bridge, where early SWPPP integration proved beneficial, and underscores the importance of treating SWPPPs as dynamic, collaborative tools rather than static requirements. With a focus on innovation and environmental responsibility, Kristin envisions a future where stormwater management becomes a greater priority across the construction industry.

“What we value is what comes out of the pipe — not how it’s treated, managed, or who else might need it along the way.” In this episode of Distilled, James Dalton, Global Director of Water at IUCN, explores how urban life has disconnected us from water’s true value, why it remains invisible in our daily lives, and why we urgently need more ambition to solve water challenges now. James joins host Will Sarni for a thought-provoking conversation on bridging the gaps between engineering, policy, and action.

What happens when our transport networks go "under water"? It's not just about a flooded road; it's about a ripple effect of economic disruption and cascading failures. I just listened to a fascinating episode of the Engineering Matters podcast: https://lnkd.in/eCWB4bMK . It dives into how engineers are using advanced catastrophe modeling and data analysis to understand the complex risks to our infrastructure from flooding. The discussion with experts from Fathom (Peter Slater and Olivia Sloan), Swiss Re, and Grid Advisors, LLC was particularly insightful, highlighting a shift from reactive to proactive resilience planning. We can no longer view infrastructure as a series of isolated assets. We need a systems-level approach to truly build resilience. This is a fantastic example of cross-sector collaboration between engineering, data, and finance to solve a major societal challenge. I highly recommend giving this a listen.

We’re excited to be part of the CASFM 2025 Annual Conference in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, September 23–26! We’ll join stormwater and floodplain professionals to explore innovative approaches in water management. AECOM applies advanced engineering and environmental planning to deliver effective floodplain and stormwater solutions across Colorado. By combining cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices, we help communities manage extreme weather risks, boost resilience, and support long-term ecological balance. Phetmano Phannavong, PE, PMP, CFM and Tony Tran, PE, PMP, CFM will explore AI policy and ethics, highlighting how stormwater and floodplain managers can responsibly leverage AI for predictive modeling, risk assessment, and emergency response. Chase F., PE will share updates on the Colorado River Connectivity Channel Project, showcasing how AECOM collaborated with Northern Water Conservancy District to perform as-built (Year-0) channel monitoring and ensure high-quality geomorphic data collection.

The future isn’t something we predict, it’s something we create. Using tools like HEC-HMS, we can model watersheds and design solutions that make a climate-resilient water future possible for all. With climate change intensifying water risks, HEC-HMS(Hydrologic Engineering Center , Hydrologic Modeling System) provides the tools to simulate watershed dynamics, inform decision making, and promote SDG 6 on sustainable water and sanitation.

Sustainability is all about smart design that benefits people, the environment, and the economy. 👇 In the NT, that means infrastructure that can handle heavy rainfall and flooding, hydraulic systems that conserve and manage water wisely, and designs that respect local ecosystems. 💧 Our goal? Engineering that delivers strength today and sustainability tomorrow! 🌅 #precisioncivilandhydraulicengineering #civilengineering #hydraulicengineering #engineeringsolutions #engineeringconsulting #constructionprojects #infrastructuredevelopment #civildesign #hydraulicsystems

Stormwater Awareness Week | September 22–26, 2025 Urbanization in the U.S. is increasing impervious areas, causing greater stormwater runoff and water pollution. Under EPA’s MS4 Program, which is designed to control water pollution and support sustainable development, jurisdictions are adopting various LIDs and BMPs, like bioretention, permeable pavement, and rain gardens to mimic natural processes. With GeoSWMM, we integrate advanced stormwater modeling into ArcGIS Pro — helping engineers and planners design and optimize strategies that improve water quality and build more resilient cities. Together, we can drive smarter, more sustainable stormwater solutions.  #StormwaterAwarenessWeek #GeoSWMM #LID #BMPs #StormwaterManagement #ResilientCities
