West Virginia DEP Stormwater Assistance Program

Free technical assistance and periodic BMP training for regulated and unregulated stormwater sites in West Virginia's Potomac Basin.

The Watershed Improvement Branch's Stormwater Team assists both regulated and unregulated stormwater sites in the Potomac Basin, researching and supplying the best available techniques relative to permit requirements. The team also provides guidance for anyone wanting to manage stormwater and learn about low impact development and green infrastructure, and tracks and reports BMP data to WVDEP's Stormwater Program and the Chesapeake Bay Program. The team provides periodic training on stormwater BMPs and publishes guidance manuals, fact sheets, rain garden and green roof case studies, the Stormwater Management and Design Guidance Manual, and the Erosion and Sediment Control BMP Manual.
