How the 2020 Census Will Impact You and Your MS4

Presenters: Matt Klaser, CESSWI, CPESC & Kelsey Krueger, MS,CPESC,CISEC

This will be a presentation on how the 2020 Census will impact MS4 programs across the country and how operators can adjust their programs to be better equipped to handle any changes to their urbanized area. The resultant changes to the population and MS4 level could lead to a difference in federal funds and resources available.

• Understand how the 2020 Census can potentially change MS4 operational levels due to population changes.
• What a change in MS4 operational level means in terms of federal funding and available resources.
• Spread awareness about potential required permits and regulations due to changes in MS4 operational level.
