Greetings! 

 

Not only are we pleased to announce that the PowerPoints from the January trainings about the RI Stormwater Manual are finally posted, but we also are excited to share that DEM has created a new listserve to keep you informed about information related to the manual.

 

To download the presentations, please visit the DEM Stormwater Design and Installation Standards Manual website.

 

For additional information about those January trainings, including updates about approved credits, please visit the NEMO website. 

 

For more information about the listserve and a reminder about upcoming trainings, please keep reading below! 

   

The New Listserve

 

The Department of Environmental Management's Office of Water Resources has created an email list to distribute information regarding the new RI Stormwater Design and Installation Standards Manual and related regulations, policies and guidance.

 

You can subscribe by sending and email to: majordomo@listserve.ri.gov.

 

Leave the subject line blank.

 

In the body of the message, include the following text: subscribe owrinfo

 

You will receive a confirmation e-mail, indicating successful subscription to the list.

 

The list will be used to alert interested parties of new developments or announcements. This will be an announcement list only so subscribers will not be able to post messages to other subscribers.

 

You can visit the DEM Coordinated Stormwater Permitting website for more information about the listserve and to download the new Appendix A checklist that is to be submitted with all OWR stormwater applications.
