This Division is responsible for engineering the projects described in Pinellas County's Stormwater Management Plan. The Plan's purpose is to provide for the orderly development of County drainage facilities, to alleviate flooding of existing buildings and to protect future development against potential flood damage.

This Division is also responsible for updating the current "Stormwater Management Plan" to incorporate the requirements of the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan. A critical component of this plan is the improvement of water quality through the reduction of pollutants to downstream receiving waters. In carrying out these responsibilities we respond daily to many inquiries from commercial developers and the public. We are responsible for engineering, design and preparation of construction plans for the Capital Improvement Projects in surface water management, the Street Underdrain Replacement Program, the Stormdrain Pipe Replacement Program, and drainage pond enhancements. In addition, the Division assists in resolving problems identified by the Highway Drainage Complaint Program, coordinate the permitting process for other Capital Improvement Projects and manages the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program for stormwater runoff as required by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Finally, the Division is one of the local custodians of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps published by Federal Emergency Management Agency.
