Storm water practices presentations and information

These presentations and fact sheets contain the following information on:

1. Storm water practices to control construction site soil erosion and storm water runoff during construction; and
2. Storm water management practices after construction is complete. Some information may also be useful for redevelopment projects and industries considering the installation of on-site storm water management practices.

Applying for construction site storm water coverage

On Tuesday, April 19, 2016, the DNR held an informational webinar to provide an overview of the wetland screening and delineation procedures (required June 1, 2016).

• Wetland screening and delineation procedures and artifical wetland exemption

Terminating storm water permit coverage

On Monday, March 18, 2019, the DNR held an informational webinar to provide an overview of the electronic notice of termination submittal process available in the ePermitting system for Construction, Industrial, and WisDOT storm water permittees.

• eNOT submittal training [MP4]

Erosion control/construction site storm water management

On May 18, 2016, the DNR held an informational webinar on the technical standards associated with additive use in construction, industry, and agriculture.

• Technical standards 1050 & 1051 for construction and industrial additive use [exit DNR]

On October 22, 2015, the DNR held an informational webinar to provide an overview of the construction site Soil Loss and Sediment Discharge (USLE) guidance and associated calculation tool and documentation requirements in the application for permit coverage. Effective January 1, 2016, the results of soil loss and sediment discharge calculations must be documented in a summary report and included with the construction site storm water application.

The USLE webinar recording is split into 5 parts:

• Part 1 – Intro to soil loss [PDF] [mp4]
• Part 2 – Guidance [PDF] [mp4]
• Part 3 – Soil loss tool [PDF] [mp4]
• Part 4 – Examples [PDF] [mp4]
• Part 5 – Q&A [PDF] [mp4]

These PowerPoint presentations are from workshops held in 2006 in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin Extension and the Wisconsin Departments of Commerce and Transportation regarding erosion control/construction site technical standards. The links will open a new browser window.
