WILMOT, NH, March 9, 2005 -- StormwaterAuthority LLC recently launched a new website, StormwaterAuthority.org, a multi-partnered website designed to assist both the private and public sectors in making informed decisions about stormwater treatment and management.

The website provides access to a variety of tools and expert guidance, including an exhaustive guide of stormwater-related regulations by state. Visitors can find descriptions and information on best management practices in addition to an extensive library of papers and research by industry professionals and experts. In addition, the site hosts the "Storm Pros" list, a free, password-protected network that provides contact information, and referral opportunities for the engineering and construction community. Engineers, contractors and owners also have the opportunity to nominate individuals for the Engineer/Contractor of the Month, and to submit stories, news, and research to share with the stormwater community.

The site is supported by a number of organizations and companies, including Vortechnics, Environmental News Service and a variety of organizations and individuals who have contributed content to the site, including Gordon England, a respected and well known engineer and author in the community. England has over 23 years engineering experience with stormwater and over the last few years, developed and managed a website called stormwater-resources, which has been a popular resource nationwide for professionals to find hundreds of research papers and studies on stormwater.

"I am really excited to see StormwaterAuthority.org's presence in the stormwater community," England said. "I am turning over my web site, Stormwater-Resources.com, to the company. Now professionals can access the research papers previously hosted on my site in addition to hundreds of others located in the library section of StormwaterAuthority. The knowledge and expertise housed within the new website will be a great resource."
