Managing Stormwater Periods on a Contract

Water runoff from heavy rainstorms can cause water pollution and earth erosion. For this reason, the agency monitors and records weather conditions in order to comply with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, also known as National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Extreme weather conditions can constitute what is called a stormwater event, which requires that the agency submit a Stormwater Environmental Compliance Inspection Report (SECIR).

The Stormwater Periods tab on the Contract Progress Summary component contains a list of all the stormwater periods recorded for the contract. Each row in the list contains an Actions button and current values for the following fields:

To change information about a stormwater period, click the link in the Start Dt field. The system takes you to the Stormwater Period Summary component (see Maintaining a Stormwater Period).

To add a new stormwater period to the contract, click the New button. The system takes you to the Add Stormwater Period component (see Adding a Stormwater Period).

To delete a stormwater period, select Delete from the Actions menu on the stormwater period row. The system shades the row to indicate it is marked for deletion. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.

When you are finished managing stormwater periods for the contract, click the Save button to apply your changes to the system (including deleted information). The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.
