Engineering Department - Environmental and Stormwater Management

Program Description

The environmental program provides services including management of site clean-up projects, real estate services including right-of-way acquisition, environmental plan review, and administration of the City's materials management program.

The stormwater program consists of the planning, design, and development of stormwater studies and projects for: (1) water quality purposes; (2) habitat restoration purposes; (3) flood control and drainage purposes; and (4) erosion/sedimentation control purposes, to meet City and State required levels of service. This program also provides stormwater administration related to the stormwater utility, alternate funding acquisition, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System federal permit administration, and the acquisition of state mandated environmental permits. Essential water quality monitoring of City surface and groundwater resources and public requested sampling, as may be required to support public projects or regulatory requests, is also a significant program element.

The Land Development Engineering group performs engineering reviews of proposed development projects and building permits and facilitates permits for activities within city rights of way.
