To keep a stormwater program from drowning in its data, it’s essential to manage information so it’s easily accessible and can help drive critical decisions. The Town of Apex, NC, is using data management tools to automate and streamline its stormwater information in a way that has improved operations and, more importantly, helped with municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) compliance. Apex worked with Freese and Nichols to develop a Survey123 and ESRI Field Maps mobile app that serves an array of functions: tracking, logging, adding and storing data; collecting photographs; spatially locating assets; performing real-time assessments; and using custom scripts to automate triggers that generate stormwater control measure (SCM) inspection reports. The system can automate 30-day reminder email notifications to property owners informing them of their upcoming annual SCM inspection. These tools and a custom dashboard allowed for daily quality and progress checks. As a result, the Town of Apex organized its stormwater data to meet MS4 compliance.
Learning Objectives
- Develop an asset management strategy to collect data on stormwater control measures (SCMs) for compliance assurance and tracking.
- Implement a real-time, interactive web map geographic information system (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS) field data collection system to monitor data collection from the office, share with internal and external clients, and integrate into a GIS-asset management database.
- Integrate Survey123 and ESRI Field Maps to easily populate data into an asset management database and generate automated reports from a template.
