Committees

MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE

The function of the Maintenance Committee is to promote educating the industry about the maintenance needs for both proprietary and non-proprietary best management practices (BMPs). Since all BMPs require maintenance, this committee shall address the maintenance needs for a variety of systems and identify estimated costs for said maintenance. Most end users of stormwater systems do not understand that non-proprietary systems have a higher maintenance interval and demands thereby affecting the yearly cost associated with them. By presenting the demands associated with each BMP (proprietary and public domain) the committee shall present the benefits of manufactured stormwater solutions both in land savings and maintenance cost. Greg Kent is Chairman of the Maintenance Committee. Greg Kent can be contacted at: gkent@biocleanenvironmental.com.
