Infrastructure Inventory
Beginning in 2008, the NPDES Permit required the identification, location and assessment of every stormwater structure that is owned, maintained or operated by the county. The majority of this work is limited to county-maintained roadways but it also sometimes extends to drainage infrastructure owned or operated by homeowners' associations as well as private entities. There are two major tasks involved in the project:
1. Global Positioning System (GPS) Field Data Collection: GPS crews locate and input data about all types of stormwater structures using the County’s Enterprise Collection System. Structure data is collected for drainage swales, ditches/channels, drop structures, storm drainage pipes, catch basins, weirs, control structures, ponds and canals, including elevations and other dimensions.
