GIS - Mapping Resources
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has quickly become integral to the management of municipal storm water conveyance systems. Municipalities and counties that have GIS in place are constantly updating their data in order to provide the most accurate and readily available storm drainage system information in order to meet regulatory compliance requirements.
Lake County GIS Portal (Links to County Suveryor, Watersheds, and HAZUS GIS websites)
U.S.EPA Storm Water Program Site for technical and regulatory information about the NPDES storm water program.
Indiana Dept. of Environmental Management Storm Water Program Site for permitting and technical information about the MS4 requirements under 327 IAC 15-13.
