Environmental Engineering

The Environmental Engineering section of the Civil Engineering Division oversees the protection and maintenance of Clearwater's surface water and natural resources. Programs consist of the planning, design, and review of projects for water quality improvement, habitat restoration and enhancement, erosion and sedimentation control and to meet City, State and Federal levels of service. The section seeks alternate funding for projects, administers the National Pollutant Discharge System Municipal Separate Stormwater System (NPDES) permit, reviews site plans, and acquires any state mandated environmental permits. Providing assistance to the public and City Departments related to hazardous waste management, pollutant storage tanks and related State and Federal reporting requirements is also an integral part of services provided by this section.
