Task 1. 0 Program Organization Walton Objective: To tailor a program that will meet the needs otthe City of Fort Beach, ...EClrth Tech will sit down with City stClffto/ iqentifyand prioritize the the problems and issues that will be addressed. We understand that problems include: II NPDES Stormwater Permitting Water in Choctawhatchee Bay and Santa Rosa II Quality Sound II Aging infrastructure It is our experience that once the problems are made known thatele.ctedofficials :; and the general public are more willing to take action to correct them. Earth Tech will audit the roles of the existing City Departments to determine if they are equipped to adequCltelyprqvide the services necessary to meet the City' s stormwater management needs. In addition, the City has partnered with tchee Basin Alliance (assistance with NPDES) Clnd wh.. Choct.. the Northwest Florida Water Management District( coQrdinate the implementation of S. W. I.M.). Their roles mu.st be factored into the overall organization of the stormwater program. 1. 1 Review Stormwater Needs The
