Rick Curry participated as a member of the Region 9 Steering Committee to develop a Model Stormwater Management Ordinance. Stakeholders from various planning agencies, government representatives, engineers, attorneys, etc., from throughout the region met over an eleven month period to formulate ideas and create the Model Ordinance which is available to government agencies to adopt or use as part of their stormwater guidelines. This Model Stormwater Management Ordinance was designed to address issues including stormwater control and the Chesapeake Bay Nutrient Reduction requirements in the Potomac River Watershed in West Virginia. The Model Ordinance is included in West Virginia's Phase I Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) mandated by the EPA to meet TMDL's for the Chesapeake Bay. The Model Ordinance can be found HERE
